Corgi Races

Kristjan LOVES corgis. So much so that when I jokingly ask him if he had to choose between a car or a corgi puppy for his 16th birthday, he would choose the puppy! So when I saw Emerald Downs was promoting the Corgi Races, I just had to get tickets. We had a fun family day out. And all the corgis were soooo adorable!
 We found out Jessica and boys were at the races too

Family Reunion 2019

Family Reunion 2019
Ocean Shores

Another great reunion in the books for the Nielsen Family. Here are some of the highlights:


  • Location was at Ocean Shores. Loved the group campsite; private and tucked away from other campers (except for the occasional visitor who thought the group site bathroom was for anyone to use)
  • Joe became twins with Peter with a foot injury of his own. Joe and Toni ended up spending a chunk of time at a local hospital getting it checked out.
  • Celebrated Colton and Franie's birthdays.
  • Uncle Carl and Niels drove up to spend an afternoon with us.
  • Group lunch out.
  • Lots of laughs and story telling.
  • Lots of food.
  • Switched up the dinner meals this year to include a "left over" night; worked great!
  • Family time at the beach.
  • Cousins making memories.
