Niederer Reunion

Last weekend was the Niederer reunion at a cabin on Bills Island in Island Park. It's a reunion where just the immediate family gets together. Me and Caleb went up Thursday and stayed till Saturday morning. This was the first weekend me and Caleb have been able to be together without him having to work, and also the first weekend in probably a year or so that we got to get away for a bit. Even though it was with family, it was still a lot of fun. It was a very low key weekend. Lots of relaxing, movie watching, food, some went out for hikes or walks, the nephews played hard every day including playing in the hot tub, and it was just an all around good weekend. It's fun to get to know the siblings better and their spouses better by doing these kinds of things.

Me and Caleb had to cook dinner for Friday night. We ended up bringing up steak while Caleb's mom brought potatoes. While cooking the steak, the grill basically caught on fire. Haha it was nothing huge, but good thing there were people there that know what they were doing to put it out. We ended up cooking the rest of the steaks on something else.

Caleb didn't feel well the whole time we were up there. And me being pregnant makes it harder for me to enjoy a hike in the heat and what not. So, we were the lazy couple that basically sat all weekend. It was nice though!

Sleepy boy

Lots of baby snuggling. He slept on me like this for a whole movies worth. I'll take it.

Grandma is great and always brings up new toys for the grandkids. (hula hoops, balloon things, toy motorcycles) It makes for a very loud and rowdy house having 10 nephews running around playing hard.

We took a little walk on Friday morning and on our walk we noticed that we were only like 3 cabins away from the cabin my dad built up here. My family used to stay at it and it's also where me and Caleb stayed for our honeymoon. I knew it was up here but I couldn't remember exactly where it was at on the island. So, finding it and having it only be a few down was kind of funny.
