Every summer, Matt and Elizabeth Sutton (and their 5 girls) head to South Dakota for a couple weeks to visit. This year they arrived July 5th, but the circumstances weren't exactly ideal. John's Grandma, Erma, died on July 1st, and we had her funeral on Monday, July 7th. Erma was 93 years old. She was a great lady, and a great Grandma, and it was sad to see her go.
The kids did pretty well throughout everything. Of course they were too young to understand what was happening, but they behaved well throughout the entire day. It was nice to see all the family and hang out with them for a couple days.
Once we were back home, we caught up on some things around the house. And, it was an absolutely beautiful day outside, so I brought Emma to the park to burn off some energy. Then she helped me go and get groceries.
This past weekend, we had the Sutton Family Gathering at the park in Brookings. Pretty much everyone on Barb's side of the family was there. It was a really fun day. Emma loved hanging out with all the little girls, she called them her "cousins". She has no idea what that word means, but thats what she called them. It was adorable. And they all played so well together.
They played on the playgrounds together, and then they all swam together in the Brookings Public Pool. Emma loved it all, and she was so bummed when we had to leave.
It was very nice to see everybody again, and it was a gorgeous day in the park.
