At long last, Silas and Zoe got to meet some of their family in Minnesota! We stayed over Memorial Day weekend with my Aunt Sue and Uncle Bob (Sue is my mom's youngest sister) at their beautiful house on Lake Minnetonka. Sue and Stephanie gave us a hand with the babies when we arrived on Saturday while Derek & I got us all settled in.
On Sunday, we had a BBQ with Stephanie and her husband Jim, Jim's dad and his partner Bill, and my dad & Mary. My dad broke his leg back in December so he has been unable to travel to Boston to meet Silas & Zoe. We have all been very excited for when they could finally meet in person! We waited for everyone out on the front lawn.
When everyone arrived, Silas went to Grampa Westerlund first.
And Zoe played with Uncle Jim.
Then Zoe wanted to join the party on the couch.
Uncle Jim had fun getting to know them too!
As did Jim's dad.
The babies were a little cranky and overwhelmed with all the new people, so Derek and I took them down to the lake for some exploration.
There are a lot of reeds and tall grasses in which frogs hide!
It was an awesome day hanging out with my family before we headed to North Dakota on Memorial Day. We can't wait to see the Hovanec-Hartley crew for a little Westerlund family reunion before we head back to Boston!
