More Cousins and the Teddy Bear Band

John and Ronda hosted a picnic at their house to spend more time with our family from Texas. D and M both loved getting to know their cousin Michael better. They had a great time playing with him on the sports court in their back yard and invented a new game--stuff the basketball under your clothes. Michael helped D to score her first goal (and hold a stick for the first time). Michael's high school hockey team won state this past year in Minnesota and he will be attending Colorado College this coming fall. Maybe we can see him play in a game there when we go out to visit Steve's family in Colorado Springs! Hip hip hooray! D made it to the letter Z! There was a miscommunication about the time and place we were told to pick up Chino and Mercedes from the bus station (we were told St. Paul at 5:45, they were in Minneapolis at that time waiting for a bus to take them to St. Paul, which arrived at 7:10), so we had some time to kill. We were close the the state capitol, so we got out and let the kids run around a while. D striking a pose. It was "Touch-A-Truck" evening as part of Rosefest on Sunday. The kids got to go in a fire truck, garbage truck and this tractor. Part of the evening festivities included a family favorite--the Teddy Bear Band.
