Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs 24:12

Pics of Africa Adoption Reunion in Branson

We had a wonderful time in Branson at the Adoption Reunion! It was so neat to see two of the families we traveled with to Ethiopia (the Garners and the Roths) and to meet the families we have come to know through the America World yahoo group and blogs.
Here are a few pics in our hotel room before going to the Meet and Greet Friday night.
Pics from the Meet and Greet...

Kari Gibson, Hannah, and me
Andrew, Hannah, and Joseph
Pics from Dino's Bakery on Saturday...yummy cinnamon rolls!
Kari's husband, Roger, with Zoie

Alisa Martin with her precious boy, Micah...
Time for some shopping at The Landing...



Grammy and Grampy (Eddie's mom and stepdad) took us to lunch at Famous Dave's. They have the best BBQ!!
More shopping at Grand Village...
Hannah with Micah Roth...what a cutie! They were buddies in the transitional home in Ethiopia. He looks like he'd rather not be buddies at the moment. :)




Eddie holding Hope Garner...is she adorable or what!?!

Jason Garner and Hannah

Silver Dollar City pics
It was only a matter of time before our boys got into trouble...
I think I need this carousel at my house!


The boys rode just about every ride there. They had a blast!




Trying to figure out where to go next...
Andrew and Jackson found another ride.
Zoie checking out all the strollers. So cute!
Look at Hannah and Zoie's arms! Just precious!
The Garner crew...love 'em!
Time for some lunch...






Roller Coaster time for the boys...not Eddie and me. :) Thank goodness for Heidi.
Hannah was an angel at Silver Dollar City. She loved watching everything until she couldn't watch any longer. Nap time! Hannah, me, and Heidi Garner

So much fun! Can't wait until next year's!

You guys look like you had tons of fun! I especially liked the photo of the boys in jail! It is great that all the families get together like that. It's a reunion/celebration!

Are you still using America World adoption agency? What are your thoughts about them? We are thinking about adopting a sibling set from Ethiopia through them...would be interested to hear your feedback. Thanks.
