Busy day

What a day!! I was up early as I needed to pack the whole family up as it was senior picture day for Annika's big brother. We were also going to do family pictures so that meant outfits for everyone in the van. To add to the eventful day, it was media day for our D/C football team (2 of her brothers are on the team) at 9 a.m. and we had to leave straight from there for more pictures.
Annika had a blast out on the football field. For the first time she was able to run all around on the field and didn't have to worry about the "big bad" football players. We got a picture of her and the 2 older boys on the field. A request from her brother.
We went to do pictures in Sibley Park in Mankato. This is a little over an hour and a half from the school. I got some much needed rest on the way down there. Annika just kept talking; even though it was only Dad to hear her. She kept calling to the boys and then it was "okay, you sleep now" when they did not answer her or even start to fire her.
Annika loved the park as she had a playground to play on where ever we were in the park. She even got to try to climb some of the trees there. I even watched her try to balance and walk on the cement stops in the parking lot. She must be watching the gymnasts in the olympics when we have it on. Of course, she ended up faling down but got right back up to try again. If we didn't still need to do pictures, I would have let her keep trying. But our luck she would have fallen down and hurt herself worse the next time. Scrapped up knees or black and blue marks were not the look we were going for in the pictures.
I will try to share some of the pictures on here once we get them back from the photographer. But for now I will share the one I took on the football field of her and her brothers.
Gotta run for tonight. Still have more things to share from the past few weeks but I am too tired to write about them tonight.
