Nelson Family Reunion

In early August, we had the opportunity to get together with the rest of the "Nelson family" for a reunion on the Washington coast. The weather wasn't awesome (to say the least), but the company made up for it! I have lots of good pictures from the weekend, but will start with the family portraits!

Jim & Jo with their kids and grandkids


What a crew of cousins! Basil, Jameson, Nelson, Giarratana & Perrie


Gma Jo & Gpa Jim


The always cute 'kid foot shot'




The Bottman family - (we missed you Tereza!)


The Nelson offspring!

Happy Fall -- Almost 22 months!

There is an elementary school with a great Kindergarten playground located conveniently behind our house. We took some time out this weekend to go take advantage of the fun!

Running to the playground!



Climb, climb, climb. The girl will try to climb anything!



Climbing up the slide

and back down!


Back home


This camera has been a great investment, but Perrie is starting to "smile" for the camera. Makes it harder to get a good picture of her!

YIPPEE

The last weekend of July brought a trip back to Montana for Brandon and Perrie. Highlights included driving a 4-wheeler and tractor in Wibaux, watching cornholing in the Terry park (apparently, that's what they do there for fun), AND...

Visiting with great-grandma Ausk


Swimming in the Terry OOL (note there is no P in their pool, hopefully Perrie kept it that way)


Getting hair fixed by Gma Jo (She must be happy to have someone else fix her hair once in a while - I'm a terrible stylist, especially with her curly mop!)


Not sure what this face is, but it's interesting


Dancing to the groovy live music of the Terry street dance


Playing kitchen with Grandpa (shirtless, of course -- it must have been hot)


and learning how to *wink* in the mirror!
