There were five kids (besides the 2 babies). Lori & Big Al's three girls, Elizabeth, Hannah & Rebecca. And Aaron & Jenny's two, Nathan and Caitlin. I have never seen a group of kids that so instantly connected and played together so well. We kept commenting the whole night -- and the next day at our Starbucks get together -- how polite, well behaved and happy all five of the kids seemed. It was a joy getting to know them. They are SO cute!! Yep. . .I think it's a fair bet to say that the future forums is in good hands :)
