Mom's birthday was fun and full of family. There might be a toss up on who enjoyed it more!! Tante Brenda, Uncle Arie and family came to visit, and Jacqueline and Nathaniel meet their cousins for the first time (Jacqueline's real first time was at 4 months old). I'm kicking myself now for not taking any pictures, or a video! When Mom came back to the house from a quick job with the rail-crew, Jacqueline jumped up and said "Oma's home!!! Come on cousins!" waving her hand for them to come with her to the door to greet Oma!!! It was so cute and a total video moment!! Mom hand all the food ready to cook before she left for the job and Kevin and Jonathan barbecued dinner so it was ready by the time Dad got off of work. After dinner all the kids took turns playing a racing game on the xbox, it was really entertaining!! I'm sure that if I tried to play I would crash as much as they did!! Really had a great time with everyone!!! Jacqueline finally got her wish, she had a sleepover (and Nathaniel too) at Oma's with all the cousins!!! She really did want to stay in the morning and is ready for another sleepover!! She is still talking about her cousins and wanting to see them again!!!
For Father's day (well, on Saturday) we rented a picnic shelter in Aberdeen at Wylie Park for a fun day all together with Ashley, Pete, Brooklyn, Anneke and her friend Lisa! Jonathan was at drill so he missed out!! When we head out that morning it was raining and we came across a mother deer and fawn crossing the road, the baby laid down on the side of the road!!
And we had rain off and on all the way down (about a 4 hr trip). It was nice, but cloudy, when we arrived at the park. Got everything set up and Pete and Kevin started to get food going on the grill. It was sprinkling but not to bad. Then the wind picked up and it started to pour.
Pete and Kevin getting wet, cooking. The back of their pant legs were soaked!
This side of the shelter was dry!!
This side was getting wet.
Jacqueline ran through the rain with Tante K and got all wet, the wind made her a little cold!
Mom went to go see where we could finish our picnic, turns out that we were able to use the breakfast area at the hotel that Mom and Dad were staying at. So we packed up and went there.
Getting food all set out!
Yummy food!! White crock-pot cowboy beans, next one a hot bean dip. Pasta salad, the blue lid, has a broccoli salad.
Yummy!!!
Jacqueline enjoying scotch-er-roos (?) that Tante K made.
Brooklyn!
Jacqueline holding Brooklyn!! She was pretty proud of it too!
Mom made these cute cupcakes!! Turtles!!!!
Even though we got rained out at the park we still had a great time and a memorable one too!! Looking forward to going again and having another picnic (no rain!!) to enjoy all that the park has to offer!!
A great picture of us all before we all left, you cant tell that we were all out in the rain!
Heading home, we saw the sunset! It was beautiful. I snapped pictures like crazy to see is set in motion, but here are a few!
Got part of the glare from the window.
The end to a fun day!!
Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!! Praise the Lord for another Beautiful day today!!
