scenes from an all-american summer & unofficial family reunion

Let's be honest. It hasn't exactly been all work and no play around here. We partied like rock-stars last weekend. My cousin Ashley got married last Saturday and so the whole gang was in town for an unofficial family reunion. (Aren't we cute and colorful?) My whole fam gets together maybe twice a year these days, so it's always cause for celebration. (Oh and Jeff & I got to take the wedding pics. I'll share more on the flip side of photo shop!)

Sunday/Monday we brought the party to our new house and amazingly had beds and bathtubs for all! Graham got to spend some quality time in the kiddy pool with his favorite cousin, Eli. It's so awesome to watch them run around together. My sil is a far better blogger than I and posted more pics (and video footage) here. Lucky us, my parents treated us to 4th row tickets to a Twins' game at their new (outdoor!) stadium. It was a four.hour.game. And they lost. Bum-diggity. Nothing a giant bag of kettle corn and a strawberry frozen lemonade couldn't soothe.1. The twins light up and shake hands when they score!
