Weekend Fun

This past weekend Mark and I (and the kids) went up north to have a fun family weekend with the Gaalswyk side. Mark's whole family was together which was really fun (we all haven't been together since Christmas). Luke and Anna (mark's brother and sister-in-law) have the cute little feller in the middle with the bright head of hair :) Mark likes to call him 'blaze'. Isn't he just a stitch?!

Mark's Cousin and her family are also visiting from Czech. It was a blast to meet the newest addition to their family, Gabe and Alex....sweet little miracle babies. 

Mark and I got a somewhat normal looking family photo...

After spending two nights up north together, all of the 'kids' gave the grandbabes to the grandparents and took off for a little trip to the Brule River in WI (sans kiddos!). We had such a great time...sleeping in, walks, canoeing, sunset watching, and catching up. Completely relaxing and enjoying each others company. 

Here we all are watching the sun set

 My sister-in-law...each time we are together we find more weird similarities including the way we look. How ironic that we married twin brothers :)

And the whole group in front of the wood shed at our cabin!

We are so fortunate to have wonderful family that we love to be with! What a blessing ;)
