Today we had a Friesen family get together.<\/p>\n
Pasty’s brother, Dan, and his daughter (who is heading off to college this Fall) came over from South Dakota for the weekend.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 We all had a fabulous time taking turns boating and playing on the beach for a couple of hours this afternoon.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 We set up a couple tables outside and just sat around eating and laughing and enjoying everyone’s company.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
And Josiah was a smashing hit with all of his cousins.\u00a0 Everyone wanted to hold him!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
