Sibling Weekend 2008

This past weekend a very rare occurrence happened, myself and my eight
siblings all got together to spend a weekend with just each other.
Yep-no spouses, no kids...just the nine of us! We rented a
beautiful cabin at Cedar Valley Resort, which is just outside
of Lanesboro, Minnesota. My youngest brother, Patrick, had
purchased a building in Lanesboro and is currently rehabbing it
for both living and opening a retail store. It's a cute little
building right off of the main street in Lanesboro, which is a
picturesque little town in southern Minnesota.

It was basically a weekend of eating, drinking, playing games and just
enjoying each others company. The weather was still a bit chilly, but
at least we had no snow or rain-just cold winds and cloudy skies.

It took a lot of arm twisting to get everyone to agree on a time
to do this and some convincing that it be just us siblings...but it
turned out great in the end. Here's hoping we can at the very
least make this an annual gathering!
