Lauren's Family
I am from the northwest suburbs of Chicago, IL and my husband is from Owatonna, MM. My husband and I moved to Jordan to raise our family in a small town with a strong community connection. We have two active children in the school district. Our free time is spent getting them to all their activities. We can often be found watching many of the Jordan Hubmen and Jaguars events. When I say many, I really mean all.... football, basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, track, theater, concerts, etc. Our summer is spent primarily camping every weekend at a nice campground not to far from Jordan in Waterville, MN. Kamp Dels is a great place to spend your summer.
