CCAI Florida/Georgia Reunion 2008

This past Saturday, we spent the day in Orlando at our adoption agency's annual Florida reunion. It was held at Turkey Lake Park and the weather was gorgeous! The park is a campground as well, so we may try it sometime as another camping option.
We arrived early since we were helping with the registration of families as they arrived. It was a great opportunity to meet other families and see how their families have grown through adoption.
Our agency founders/directors for the whole US were there, Joshua Zhong and Lily Nie. They were both quite interested in Jena and her experience here as an exchange student so she got to hang out with them a bit and talk in Chinese (which she always likes since she can't do that at home :))

Other friends arrived including Tom, Irene and Maggie; Neil, Michelle and Chloe; and Kip, Treena and Jemma. We got to hang out and play with the kiddos while enjoying food and Chinese performances that included music and dance. Overall, it was a great afternoon, but it's hard to believe that it has been 2 whole years since the last reunion, when we had JUST received word that we had a log-in date. Unfortunately, we will probably see one more reunion, in 2 years, until it's our turn.
