Mari's Birthday Gathering

In early October, much of my family was in town to celebrate GG Mari's 89th birthday. Unfortunately, Owen spiked a high fever for the majority of the weekend and we didn't feel comfortable taking him over to Mari's where he could possibly infect them all. So he stayed home with at least one of us at all times. That said, my folks went ahead and braved the sickness to come see us over at our place and Karen, Logan, and I took separate excursions to Mari's so we could at least somewhat take part in the Stoll, Wahtola, and Ainslie gathering/celebration.

The following 2 collages are separated into pics from our house and a few pics from time over at Mari's. All I can say about the first collage is that my Mom doesn't make an appearance because as usual, she is taking 99.9% of the photos. The second collage doesn't quite have everyone that was there, but besides me, Kare, and Logan, there is also my Aunt Julie, Uncle Chuck, Mari, and my cousins Kevin, Cully (and his boys Hunter at far right and Jack strapped to his chest), and Heath. It was fun seeing how big all of the male cousins are. Each of us is 6'2"+.
