More Larimore Days pics

Now that I'm back in China - alone - I have a lot of free time on this "transition" weekend. (my internal clock is a still a bit screwed up - waking up at 4AM still - all of the laundry is clean, groceries bought, and I swear to God it must be 120 degrees outside with 99.9% humidity ).

So I figured I would put some more images out there of the Larimore Days celebration. Larimore Days is always a good time as it provides an opportunity to catch up with people that you grew up with that you really don't get to see as often as you'd like.

Friday night - Class of '87 party at Stacy's:


Saturday morning Class of '87 parade float -waiting for the parade to begin...by the way we don't do parade floats.

What in the world was I doing or thinking... a rhythmic gymnast - I am NOT!

Saturday afternoon with the family on the museum lawn -

Saturday afternoon picnic at Larimore Dam - Class of '87 -

The road trip to no-where...actually we went to Petersburg and Michigan, ND. We soon found that Michigan Days has nothing on Larimore Days. When the bus pulled up - you would have thought we just landed from Mars - given the stares we received. The bus ride was a great idea and a lot of fun.

Saturday Night - Larimore Days is not complete with out a solid night (and early morning) at Good Friends Bar & Grill.

Larimore High - Vintage '87

This past weekend was Tony's 20 year class reunion in Larimore, ND. About 28 of the Class of '87 attended the reunion. Class mates came from all over the US. It was good to see everyone. The reunion takes place during the annual celebration of "Larimore Days". Grandma Wixo watched the kids and Tony & Sabrina stayed in the Taj Mahal of Larimore - the Vel Mar Motel.

Grandma Wixo brought the twins to the celebration and they ran around on the museum lawn and had their own kind of fun.

Thanks to all who put in the time to plan this event. It was fun - we hope to see everyone again before the 30th class re-union. Keep in touch.

Until next time...

Wixo's 40th Celebration

We've have been away from the "wired world" for some time as we spent the last week at the Wixo's Devil's Lake cabin. We spent the first weekend celebrating Mom & Dad Wixo's 40th Wedding Anniversary with the Wixo side of the family and the Bosserts. A fun time was enjoyed by all. All but one of the Wixo cousins were able to make it. I'll let the pictures do the talking below...

Mom made quilt blocks for all the women.

The immediate grandchildren made a blanket for Mom & Dad.

All of the cousins in attendance...a little older, a lot smarter...

Dad and his sister Carol. (Carol is now famous as she has her picture on the internet :) )
