Afterwards we all gathered at Colleen's (my mom's cousin) house for the reunion, since she was nice enough to host it again this year. Trent had a lot of fun playing in the backyard and being around all the other kids.
Norco is also known as "Horse Town, USA", and so a highlight for all the kids (and some of the adults) was riding Colleen's horses. This was Trent's first time seeing a horse and he wasn't quite sure of what to think of such a huge animal. Side note - after having ridden horses for so many years and falling off too many times to count, I had Trent wear a helmet, but the only one we could get ahold of was this cute pink bubble head one that belongs to our friends' little girl. I'm sure he'll be mortified to see these pictures when he gets older!
He was a little nervous to ride so he wanted me to hold him.
The rest of these photos are of my cousins. Here are Emma, Ashlie, and Splash (that's a fly screen on his face)...

The next day we took the kids to the beach and they all had a lot of fun. Trent loved it when I lifted him to jump over the incoming waves! Afterwards he was pretty pooped, so while he was laying down in my lap, watching the kids play in the water, he fell fast asleep (sorry, I forgot to bring my camera to the beach).

What an awesome reunion! You just can't beat horses and cake.
The reunion looked like fun! I love riding horses... I bet you all enjoyed escaping the crazy heat we've been enjoying here!
