Pizza and No Pool

This weekend was the Eco-Triathlon that Jon, Brian and Tony have competed in the past two years. Brian, Kate and Maya decided to come over to the Rochester area on Thursday to enjoy some extra family time! We invited both brothers and their families to our home for family swim at the Stewartville pool and pizza afterwards. Unfortunately, the rain and chilled air kept us from swimming, but we sure enjoyed some delicious pizza together.

Harvey enjoyed playing with the kitty toys. I hadn't seen him in a while, and this is where I found him.

Maya LOVED sitting on Aunt Mindy's lap. Notice the adorable bib. Which aunt is she referring to...

Natalie liked the cat toys as well. 

Since I set up fruit ninja for the kids, it was calibrated to my height. We weren't sure how to change that (until we were all done), so Uncle Tony helped Harvey be the best fruit ninja he could be!

Then Natalie needed a turn. 

Natalie discovered a new way to play fruit ninja.

Kate is my favorite fruit ninja by far. She has some wonderful side effects to go with it. Notice she's on her knees. We figured out how to calibrate it for the kids, but then the adults wanted a turn! Listen VERY closely for those ninja noises!

What a fun evening together. We need to do that more often!
