The Unofficial Landi Family Reunion/家族で待ち合わせ

We had visited a place in Massachusetts about a half hour from where my parent's grew up called Kimball's Farm a couple of years ago and have not been able to get the ice cream cones out of our head...so when we knew the Connecticut Kleins would be coming back from New Hampshire right past Kimball's and my Mom's sister and two brothers live within a half hour of the farm an unofficial family reunion involving ice cream just seemed to make sense...so Anna whipped up an invitation and we let the Aunts and Uncles know through e-mail and my cousins know through Facebook and today we had a wonderful time visiting with the relatives.

２、３年前に行ったマサチューセッツにあるキンバル牧場のアイスクリームを食べに行くついでにその近所に住んでいるデイヴの伯母さん/伯父さん/従兄弟達と待ち合わせをする事に...ちゃんと招待状を送ったりフェイスブックを使って計画しました。


It was a weird weather day...we drove through driving rain storms on our way to Kimball's and then when we arrived the sky was blue, but within ten minutes the skies opened up again and Madison got rained on for the first time in her life...she didn't seem to mind...
とっても変な天気の日でした。キンバルまで行く途中に嵐に遭ったのに着いた途端に晴れ...っと思っていたら１０分後にまた雨が...そのおかげでマディソンは初めて雨に降られる事を体験。嫌がってなかったから良かった！

After eating ice cream under a much needed tent, the brave ones headed for the bumper boats...below are my brother Robert and my nephew Grant, my cousin Kim and her neice Brynn and my Uncle Paul and his granddaughter Molly.

Below is a quick video of some of the action...
少しビデオをとってみました。



Here is a group shot of everyone that was able to make it...my Mom, her Sister and her Brother and their families (minus those that live far away)...
Grandma and Grandpa Landi would be proud!
家族みんなで揃ってハイチーズ！

Madison did great the whole time we were there...and slept the whole way home and then some!!
