Family Weekend

A long weekend of family. Saturday Freda stayed over at Grandma Leslie's so we could go out for Kaori's birthday. As usual, they must have had a blast as Freda always returns with a Grammaleslie hangover and is all kinds of worn out! She spoke of feeding ducks and parks and movie and the dogs...she sure loves staying over Grandma, thanks. We had a great time as weird as it is to not have mini around.

Sunday we went to my parents house for alder plank salmon.


My Dad's sister Joann is visiting so we all got together to celebrate. Thanks for coming up Joann, we really had a good time visiting and catching up on the last 20+years! We are looking forward to seeing more of you in the coming years. Aunt Jani made a cameo and my brother's family was there. Freda got to run around with her cousins and play tag and raced and made a squirrel restaurant (piles of acorns). Those girls sure know how to have a good time. It's great how her cousins just include her like they do.

Freda crashed and need some major repairs and cousin Sawyer supervised.

On Sunday we drove down to a Schumacher family dinner in Bayview. We barbecued and visited with Grandpa John's sisters who were visiting and of course, his mother Freda. Tyler and Molly showed up with new baby in utero. Cousin on the way for Freda. Welcome to the fold! lol.

We were exhausted and found our way back home only to pass out in front of the idiot tube on the couch after settling everyone down.
