when the van wagenen family gets together...

As you may have gotten from my last post my Mummi (english translation: grandma) came from Finland this past week! I was especially excited because i hadn't seen her in over 8 years! Because she came our whole family got together. All 24 of us plus my mom's brother and his family(lasse, eva, lauri and eero). We did all of the things we never would have done if it weren't for the finns, like antelope island in the great salt lake, kennecott copper mines, bee's game, and music and the spoken word. We're really grateful we were able to spend time with my family.
