Extended Family Fun

This past weekend we were with my Dad's side of the family for a few days. Out of a family total of 54 we had 46 of us show up for at least part of the weekend! Some zoo time, swimming, family team Olympics, lots of talking and ,of course, food were all packed into the weekend! We also had awesome weather. It's a wonderful thing to grow up as part of a family heritage that includes a belief in Christ and being raised to have a relationship with Him! We are SO BLESSED! Here are some pictures of our time together!

At the penguin exhibit they had a spot where you could watch the penguins swim under the water through a window in the floor.

Dakota's first ever roller coaster ride!

Some of us stayed in a hotel and some stayed in a rented house. The house came with a great playground area, shuffleboard, basketball court, horse shoes and picnic pavillion.

Ali found a new use for the shuffleboard sticks - terrorizing Uncle Jesse!
