Woot! We have 83 adults, 18 kids, and 6 babies coming to the reunion!
An adult golf outing at Soldiers Field Golf Course (a few block from the hotel) is being planned by Steve Erickson, so contact him if you're interested! He has 4 tee times at 10:00. Right now there are 12 people planning on playing. Spread the word!
Kristi and Clint have invited everyone to their home in Rochester for a bonfire! Weather permitting - they are having a bonfire at their house on Friday night (6/26) at 7 p.m. They will have goodies and makings for s'mores, etc. Everyone is welcome (but please don't feel obligated)! Please bring your own lawn/bag chairs if possible.... and you might be slobbered on by George (their newfie dog)! Their addresss is 5448 Shannon Valley Ln SE (yellow house at end of cul de sac).
A reminder for the Wisconsin folks, if you are buying beer you need to get it from a liquor store not a Walmart or grocery store. Unless you like watered down beer. :)
If you have photos or special items from the farm or family members, please bring them to the reunion to share in the hospitality room.
A heads up for family traveling from Northern MN and ND... if planning to go through Minneapolis, there's road construction on 494 west, starting near Maple Grove causing major delays. So, take 694 and 169.
We will once again have a community gathering room reserved, and we'd appreciate if everyone could bring a snack/treat/beverages to share! Thank you!
Many people will be arriving on Thursday or Friday, but no matter when you can join the fun, we're happy you can join us!
Gina and Kristi are putting together lists of fun things to do in the area - those lists will be available in the hospitality room.
Please contact me with any questions - Laura Bucholz, laurab_21@hotmail.com, 701-799-1606.

Family
"Family life is full of major and minor crises -- the ups and downs of health, success and failure in career, marriage, and divorce -- and all kinds of characters. It is tied to places and events and histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and personality. It's difficult to imagine anything more nourishing to the soul." -- Thomas Moore

2015 Ystenes Family Reunion Logo
A huge thank you to Stephanie Hazen (daughter of Cindy Hazen, granddaughter of Doris DenHartigh) for designing this year's family reunion logo! It was inspired by the apron poem in the Ystenes cookbook, representing Clara's well-worn apron on the farm. There are 13 handprints to represent the 13 children of Clara and Obert Ystenes.
