Puikkonen Reunion

We had a little time to play some badminton at the Puikkonen gathering. We have a small yard but just enough room to play but if you get a little crazy we have to go search for the birdies that fly over the fence. Here is Kaleb and Elina having a good time. Elina is Mikko's cousins daughter so I don't know what that makes them. 2nd cousins???
We had a little family gathering with Mikko's side of the family. There is only Mikko's Dad and his brother from the Puikkonen line and we are fortunate that they both live here in Utah. So on the Puikkonen side Mikko has one uncle and two cousins. So with Mikko's immediate family and extended we had 11 adults and 3 kids there. Kind of a little different than the Brown side but we had a good time. All were present except for Mikko's cousin Karina.
We got a little family shot in too. Kaleb was pretty funny that day. He sure does like to tell people what to do and sure was chatty. Just wish we knew what he was saying!

Kaleb loves to play t-ball. We hope he continues to enjoy athletics we are pretty sure he will have a build for sports.

Looks like a fun reunion. I also like all the pictures of the great veggies you have grown. Thanks again for letting Shaye and I stay at you house it was fun to see you and enjoy your neat theater room:) Kaleb is such a cute kid so it was fun to see him too. We got a place in Clearfield, the place you told us about actually, the Goldstone Place Apts. so we look forward to being a part of the Northern Brown gatherings:)

I guess it's obvious J & I are friends. My comment was going to be that you are the shortest of the group & you are so tall to me (which isn't saying much) :)

Looks like it was a great time!
