At the end of July we headed to Mahoney for Grandma Linda's 80th birthday celebration. All 40 of her family members were able to attend, and we had a great time. We all shared our pictures after the week, so there are a lot of pictures here.
They pick right up with 2nd cousins each time we get together
Each family had a cabin in the same cul-de-sac. It was nice to have our own space, but be all together.
Monroe loves babies, and Nora was very willing to let Monroe love on her.

Zach's mom and her siblings did a great job planning many special gifts for Grandma. This was a poem.
Grandma wrote a song that we all sang to her. She was so surprised and emotional.
It was a beautiful birthday party that honored Grandma well.
The next day we all went to the zoo.
