Uncle Eric is majorly in the lead. Anyone want to bump him down?? ;)

Uncle Eric was home with the family from June 30th-July 8th.  As he was nearing his departure time he decided that he needed to solidify his role as Most Favorite Uncle of All Time, so we went and purchased the Horsman kids and the Schaefer kids an electronic vehicle.  

Can you REMEMBER as a kid...how bad did you want one of those?  I would have probably killed something for one.  :)  

So, here it is...the grand unveiling of the kids cars, and the moment Uncle Eric solidified the reputation of Greatest Uncle Ever.  

The cars do both go faster than shown here, but they hadn't been charged long enough by the time the kids wanted to ride them...

Sadly, Finn thought that the black car was HIS.  :)  

A family party:

Almost everyone was here last night for a Family Night to celebrate Eric being home!  Greg and Andrea drove up from Mankato/Rochester, so the only other people missing were Mom (at a cabin weekend), Lauren (working), and Dan (DJ work).  We had pizza, snacks, a fire, played Catan...you know, all the usual stuff... ;)

Horsman techno fun.

Claire and Aunt Andrea snuggling by the fire.

Catan.  Tradition.
