Was quite the wild party.  Wren needed to catch a few midway....

Two Harbors MN - Celebrating Pat at 75

Got a cloudy day to celebrate Pat hitting 75.  Worked out great - only had to deal with the bugs not the sun too.  

Great gathering to celebrate Pat hitting a milestone - even Ben, Wren and Maura joined the party.  Was a practice session for several more milestone birthdays coming up before the end of the year.   

Saint Paul MN - Getting an early start to the Labor Day Weekend

 

We had a bigger crowd coming and the life started to happen but we still gathered a good group and had a great night getting the long weekend started. 

Saint Paul MN - State Fair time with Maura and Bill

 

We got a perfect weather day to hang at the Minnesota State Fair.  So many years ago Margie and Maura invited me along and Bill decided to jump in some time after that and now it is a yearly day of fun.   

Stillwater MN - Kendall comes to town

 

Lauren, Joel and Kendall came for weekend at the lake.  They got perfect weather - warm without much humidity and cool evenings.   

And a few days later another day on the river near downtown Stillwater with the Esters.  

Saint Paul MN - Beautiful summer day

 

So much heat and humidity this year - and very little rain.  Today was a start in the break of the humidity for a few days.  Seems like the turkeys were all in on the improved weather - they were everywhere I wandered this AM. 

Even ran in to a whole crew of turkeys crossing the road on my way to Stillwater later in the day.  Their kind of weather it seems.
