Today we had a Friesen family get together.
Pasty’s brother, Dan, and his daughter (who is heading off to college this Fall) came over from South Dakota for the weekend. So after they watched Kristen & Jeremy participate in a triathlon this morning they all drove out to see Jen’s new house and then we met up with the Baker’s and Ryan’s family at the lake. We all had a fabulous time taking turns boating and playing on the beach for a couple of hours this afternoon. Then we decided for supper it would be fun to come back to our house and have coney island’s–so Tim made a quick trip to the grocery store to pick up food for 17 people and we had a wonderful impromptu family picnic. We set up a couple tables outside and just sat around eating and laughing and enjoying everyone’s company. Even though our gatherings are a bit crazy with so many kids running around and so many adults squished into our tiny house socializing, I really enjoy our times together.
And Josiah was a smashing hit with all of his cousins. Everyone wanted to hold him! 🙂
I really enjoy those times as well. 🙂
