2 weeks ago the entire Biorn clan met in Gurnee, IL for a family reunion. Typically this has been done over Labor Day weekend for the past 29 years but this past year we met in Ft. Myers Beach, FL over Christmas and this year in Gurnee.



Jason had been traveling for the entire week in IA so I packed up the kids and traveled solo. I broke up the trip by leaving Thursday and staying just south of Milwaukee with Jason's cousin. We were able to spend time with Jason's grandma which was very nice.



On Friday Macayla, Jason (he met us in Gurnee), my dad and sister went to Great America while my mom and other sister Tricia (who is now almost 20 weeks pregnant) watched Kipton. We had a great time. My dad probably had the most memorable Great America trip he has ever had...he was able to take is grandaughter on her first roller coaster. Yes, you heard right, 2 1/2 year old Macayla went on the Whizzer! You have to be 36" to ride and she was 36 1/2". She LOVED it! She road it 3 times and kept wanting more. All day long she was saying "up and down, up and down".



The rest of the weekend was spent visiting with all of my extended family, aunts, uncles, cousins and of course the wonderful woman who makes it all possible Grandma Jean.
