Day 10 - Baby Shower

I put on my best pair of shorts and my only button down shirt and went to my Dad's church with the rest of the clan. We came back and had Swedish pancakes for lunch - yum.

The ladies then headed off to a baby shower for my younger sister (Nancy) who is expecting her first child in September. Needless to say - I was quite happy this was not a Jack and Jill type of affair.

Kelsey has been battling a fever the last few days - and although the miracle of Motrin has allowed her to participate in most of the reindeer games we thought we would spend a more sedate day around the house.

In the evening, my brother Jeff departed back to Boston. The boys and I (along with the Surro family and my Mom) went to my sister Nancys house in Minneapolis for some pizza. The kids have gotten into playing a traditional Swedish game called kubb. As Wikipedia explains - it is combination of bowling and horseshoes. Below is a photo from a hotly contested game that pitted Jake, Brett and Christopher versus Alex, Caley and Connor. Who says Swedes don't know how to have fun ??
