Memorial Day Weekend

We had a family filled Memorial day weekend.  We headed out early Friday morning for MN for M's 15 year class reunion and some time with Uncle S and Aunt S before they moved to CA.  Sleepy girls the last hour of the 15 hour drive.  The drive turned out longer than expected when 2 1/2 hours down the road, I started throwing up.  D gave me Dromidine thinking maybe I was carsick, but after the third episode M decided it really was a sickness.  Luckily I was able to tell M&D and was able to stop in time, so there were no messes in the car.  But by this time it was noon and we were in the middle of South Dakota, and M was spending 20 minutes in the bathroom with me for the 7th time, while D was trying to figure out the air pressure on our car rental tires.  What to do....continue on or turn around?  After conversations with Uncle S, it was decided that we would continue on.

By the time we arrived in FF, I was feeling fine and ran off to play with Cousin L.  The next morning, M&D went to the alumni brunch while Aunt M took me, C and L on a nature hike.

We then were able to include ourselves on the family get together that M's cousins were having that afternoon.  We got to hold the newest cousins, 6 month old twins.

And all the little girls got their nails painted.  M has 4 cousins (of 12 total) with kids and all of them have 2 kids.  Only one boy in all those 8 kids!

After a few hours having fun with cousins, we headed back to FF so that M could attend her class dinner.  It was almost over when M got a call that now C was the one throwing up.  M got her class to take a quick picture before heading out to the sick girls.

By the time M&D got home, C&I were both asleep, so D stayed with us and M headed back out to her class bonfire.

Sunday morning we let the sick girls sleep in before heading out to the Ottertail for pizza.  It was cold and windy on the dock, but the pizza was good and hot!

We hung out the rest of the afternoon and ended up staying an extra day to help pack up the closets and kitchen for the move Uncle S was doing in 2 weeks.

Even Uncle W got the chance to fly in for his 10 year reunion and celebrate his 29th birthday with family.  What a great weekend with family--even if we were sick and got L and Uncle W sick also.  Sorry!)
