Family Fun

Whew! It has been a busy couple of weeks for us here at Casa de Tagestad. We celebrated the 125th Centennial for Bottineau two weekends ago with lots of fun, family and sun. Lauren was so excited to have her cousins Isabella, Alexander, Tanner and Logan here for the weekend. She would just follow them all around shouting "Alesandr..., Izbwella! Come here. What are you doing? Wait for me!!"

Uncle Derek and Aunt Bettina had lots of fun with Lauren and her slide Friday afternoon.


We watched the longest parade in Bottineau history, I am sure of it, on Saturday morning. Still have candy left over!!

Over 200 entries, including my tough, honorable, still-going-strong Grandpa.

We are so proud of you Grandpa Everett!!!



Rode a few rides at the fair....



Got together with all my cousins and such up at the lake and took some pictures of us all. Quite a good looking bunch, if I do say so myself!!

(Literally, all my cousins!!)

....and our kids and spouses...

....and our parents (and Grandpa, of course!)


Sunday was a nice, low-key Father's Day. For Lauren and I at least...we spent the afternoon napping while Grant was up at the Derby at the fair.

All in all, a great but busy weekend!
