The First UP Trip

The first important lesson - only Metallica drowns out a screaming baby on the Seney Stretch, where there is NO PLACE to pull over!

Now onto the UP fun...

Meeting Great-Grandma Wetelainen for the first time:


And then back to Grandma and Grandpa Wickstrom's for a Juhannus celebration (Juhannus is the Midsummer celebration in Finland). Great-Uncle Mick and Great-Aunt Sue were there, and so was Great-Uncle Dave, and cousin Kimmo and his sons Mikko and Antti - all the way from Finland!

Here's James (and headless dad) hanging out in front of the kokko (that's bonfire).


And the rest of the family

Silly baby

He's like a cat in a paper bag. He can get the bib up over his head, but can't figure out how to get it down off his face!

Happy Father's Day

Three generations of Garn men, celebrating Father's Day.



Andy and Bean having deep conversations on the sofa.

Rub-a-dub-dub

James loves having bath-time! Mostly he likes rolling around on the floor in his towel, though!
