BUSY weekend in MN

Things are back to routine here after a very busy weekend back home. We had a wake service for Brent's great aunt, graduation prep/decorating, a wedding in Ottertail, MN (Four hours from home), Laura's graduation, a bridal shower and a birthday party all jammed into 4 full days in Minnesota! Although it was busy we were so happy to see so much family during the short time.

Here are just a FEW of the pictures from the weekend....


My baby sister all grown up!!!  This made me feel OLD, and although some of you would argue that I'm not old, Laura is seven years younger than me and it seems like only yesterday that was ME at Lake of the Woods high school graduating!

Uncle Mark came up for the celebration and Laura was so pleased to have him drive up for the night! :)

 Laura and Gramps 

 Ellis Family, plus Mox and minus Brent and Leo

(Wish they would have made it in because this is one of the best family pictures we've ever taken!) 

Beautiful outdoor wedding at Ottertail, MN where Deanna (Pieper) and Greg became

 Mr. and Mrs. FLYNN! 

Christa's bridal shower! Such a fun time. Really cute decorations and a fun idea of having a Yogurt bar with about 20 different toppings! This is Christa and her Grandma Block.

Last time we tried to do a "Sister" shot we were missing Jill M. and now this time we were missing Alisa!!! We will get one, hopefully fourth of July????? (Just a bit windy...)

Aubrey is turning 5!!! (Today I think) We had a fun gathering out at Aunt Nancy's and enjoyed the sunny weather for the few hours we had it this weekend! 

The "Boys" pulling down dead tree branches. 1, 2, 3.... PULL!!!

 Down it comes....

Daddy and his girls...

So as you can see the weekend was busy and quick but we enjoyed every second of it! Yesterday we got home about 5pm and had SMOOTH flights with was nice compared to the terrible bumps on the way TO Minnesota!! Back to work for the both of us today and summer classes have started for me and we prepare to move to Florida!! Busy month of June coming up. Graduation party, one last pottery girls night, going away party, Steve and Jan come out end of June and then back home for a nice 9 day vacation the first of July! Lots of things to look forward to in this Olson home!!! Thanks to everyone who came and visited with us, helped with graduation stuff, fed us meals ;-) and so on!! Can't wait to get back in July and eventually for GOOD!
