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
