July Extended Family Fun

 Three of our July weekends were spent enjoying time with extended family!  We spent a weekend at the Kirkwood cabin, along with Grandma and Grandpa K, Auntie Kristin, Uncle Eric, Teddy and Charlie.  We spent another weekend in Chicago for a family reunion on my mom's side, celebrating my Grandma's 94th birthday.  We spent a third weekend enjoying time with Grandma and Grandpa T (and their dogs!).  We had planned to go camping at Father Hennepin for three nights and go biking and swimming, but due to poor air quality from all the forest fires, we decided upon plan B, hanging out at our house in Apple Valley.  Here are a collection of pictures from these weekends....

Cabin

We enjoyed lots of cousin/family time, celebrated Uncle Eric's birthday, enjoyed the jet ski Uncle Eric rented, all three kids skied, fished off the dock, played at the beach, ate great food, and made lots of great memories!

Obermayer Family Reunion

It was especially fun to get everyone together for our family reunion after not seeing everyone now for two years (due to COVID).  We enjoyed lots of fun activities together including a water park, bowling, axe throwing, celebrating my Grandma's birthday, and connecting with family we love!

Camping Plan B: Apple Valley :)

While we were all disappointed not to be able to go camping, we ended up having a lot of fun with our plan B!  We went to the zoo, did lots of Geocaching, mountain biking, neighborhood biking, celebrated Summer's birthday (more pictures of Summer's birthday celebration in a future post!) with a pinata, had bubble gum blowing contests and lessons, and ate lots of great food!
