what a weekend.

oh my word, what a weekend.

the scanlan clan headed up north to spend a long weekend

on the lake celebrating our queen matriarch's 80th birthday.

there was swimming in the frigid lake, building people in the sand, campfires,

songs, riddles, karaoke, scanlan olympics, broken ankles and toes, boat rides, and 

oh so much more. to live this weekend over and over would be a dream :)

now, a photo dump:

without them, there would be no us.
