Ten, Thirteen, and Fifteen

Each year around Labor Day, we get together with relatives to celebrate any summer birthdays.  It is always a fun reason to get together.  This year we were celebrating Jakob's 15th, Sarah's 13th, and Tilli's 10th, though Peter has a 50th birthday coming soon and Frieda had a birthday not to long ago.





There was lots of delicious food!  We grilled hamburgers and chicken breasts and had all the toppings.  I made homemade potato salad.  There was a kale and beet salad, chips, fresh fruit, veggies, and some appetizers.


To drink there was water, coffee, Izzes, and hibiscus iced tea (which is a new favorite of my mom's and I).


There was present opening.

And, there was lots of time outside - seeing the animals, jumping on the trampoline, guys playing basketball, a 15 year old practicing his driving on the gravel roads, and croquet.
