Smith Family Gathering

On Saturday afternoon my family came down to spend the afternoon with us. I have not seen my dad in some time and was really excited to get to spend time with him. Everyone arrived in the afternoon and we were all able to just sit around for a bit and catch up. However, with the weather being as nice as it was, the kiddos all wanted to get outside and play. The game of choice this time was soccer. Lauryn and Soren are both in soccer right now and so they are really into it. We did also pull out the tee and the kids all took turns batting. I think my dad and Brian were just a little tired after shagging balls while the kiddos hit the ball and ran the bases. I was the official picture taker so I guess that got me out of playing defense ;)

We also celebrated Annika and Miranda's birthdays since we try to combine parties when we can to help accomodate my dad and Chris and all the driving. Annika turned 3 at the end of May and Miranda just turned 5 in early June.



It was so good to see my family and have them all down in Owatonna. It truly means a lot to me that everyone was willing to come here. What a fun afternoon!
