North Dakota or Bust...

We just returned from North Dakota and the Domsten Family Reunion. It was GREAT to see my immediate and extended family...

We had fun "fying in de aiirre in de aipane!"



We visited the farm where my Dad grew up...


And my Dad's school...


We saw the church my Dad's mom's family attended and we could even go inside!





And we loved seeing family...


My Dad's siblings: Gene, Dean, Carol, Dad (Dale) and Marlin

Two of my cousins (Brent and Denise)

Mom, her sister Pat and their grandkids


Riley, Abby, Lukey, Scout, Charlie, and Jamie




Oh and Riley LOVED the 4th of July Parade, which included his favorite... firetrucks!

Why Oh Why I am so bad at blogging regularly??

Well, face it, I'm not consistent in the blogging field. But I have lots of other strengths, so I'm okay with it. : )

So since we need to once again catch up on a few months, here are some highlights.

Memorial Day weekend started summer with a bang! Jen / Matt Botzler and Steve / Val Cap came with us to the Bay and we started the summer off right...









And we all know that summer means Bay weekends!! We've gotten there a few times this summer...









We went up to Lake George, NY to stay at Tracy's family's cabin, where it was so peaceful...







And summer is only half-over! More to come, most likely in a month from now. ;)
