More Fargo Reunion

Turns out chasing after a toddler is enough to keep 2 people more than enough busy. While we were visiting with John's family, we didn't take ANY pictures! This weekend, Kendra gave us some of their pictures that I thought I would share with you all.
William hanging out with his Great Uncle John
Cousin Mike, William and Great Uncle Mark (William loved Uncle Mark because he kept feeding William candy AND let him play with his car keys)
Entertaining the toddler tornado
Playing with his second(?) cousin Delaney. Aren't they cute?
Playing on the monkey bars with Daddy and Uncle Jim
Entertaining a toddler: William was obsessed by the stroller and pushing it around. However, he was not at all concern about his cousin, Alexander's safety. He would rock the stroller and attempt to tip it over laughing hysterically the whole time. Although it clearly entertained William, neither myself nor Alex's parents were okay with this. So, John and I took turns wheeling poor Alex around the pavilion with William's "help". Cousin Mike saw this and decided that making a train out of people would be a lot of fun - and it was! Cousin Alex in the stroller, William peeking out of the top of the stroller, me and the Mikey behind me.

And, to be fair, a picture of Alex's sister, Elena! Isn't she pretty?
Heidt boys (and Moore) playing badmitton
Getting ready to rescue the birdie...or dancing on the tabletops
Coming down with birdie in hand. My job during all of this was laugh and point along with keeping William out of sight so he wouldn't get any new ideas.
Here is everyone in a group picture
I think this is all of the cousins and their spouses
The Heidt's
Someone thought it would be fun to give the kids some water to splash around in. It was fun...and messy!
When all the water was emptied, cousin Mike decided that the water could be deep enough to make a swimming pool. Here he is testing it out!

PS Also working on posts about our Karlstad reunion, trip to Grand Forks, the rainy weather, my plans for swimming classes, 18 month old post, etc. Should be done by the time William is 18 years.
