While I have many pictures on my phone from our family reunion today, I feel like this is the one that really expresses who we are. This picture is of my 2 year old that was about to kiss a frog that my 8 year old caught, at the last minute she decided that her bear should kiss it. We really are the odd balls of the family, not just my husband's side but mine as well. We are the family whose child has really chapped lips and we walk in with his lips coated in grey because he has bentonite clay all over them to heal the skin. We are the family that pulls out the squirt bottle of homemade bug spray that is full of essential oils and distilled water. We are the family bringing their own mason jars full of the reverse osmosis water and pastured deviled eggs. The family that when I child trips and gets a huge bruise comes running for some arnica. The family that sits at the park bench nursing an almost 3 year old and secretly hoping that the 4 year old does not start asking to nurse as well. Yes, we are those people and I couldn't be more pleased!!!!
By the way, I wanted to take a half gallon of saurerkraut but my husband said that no one would eat it (hello, his family is German!!!). Quite a few people that I mentioned this to were quite upset that I didn't bring my homemade sauerkraut. Next year I will have a huge batch with us!
