Dinner with the Mairs Family

June 30 2011

We were lucky enough to spend the evening with the wonderful Mairs family to celebrate the family, Grandma Fae and Grandpa Doug's Anniversary, and Papa Robert's birthday. Almost everyone was there except for Tyson who was serving his mission in Oklahoma. He was definitely there in spirit though.

There was lots of fun activities for the kids including soccer, volleyball, badminton, etc. I think the real favorite was playing in the big mound of dirt at the far end of the yard though. Hard to go wrong there. We had some good eats from Good Wood as well and the side dishes were provided by everyone else.

All the cousins and family playing happily.
If you look carefully you can see the mound in the back.

The cousins had a great time playing together, getting messy together, and eating together.

The Whole Mairs Crew

The dinner and get together was so much fun and a much needed time for family. It is always fun to get the cousins together and watch them interact. It was nice we could all be together and spend time with Grandma Fae and Grandpa Doug too. We have come to discover that time is precious!
