Happy with today’s #mnmarriage vote!

Build. Ship. Test. Huh? 🙂

10th Annual Olson Family Weekend

This weekend we got together with Tammy’s side of the family for the 10th Annual Olson Family Weekend. We returned to Lanesboro this year. The late season snow put a halt on the plans to bring bikes and do a lot of riding. But everyone enjoyed watching the snow melt through Saturday with a lot of fun and then spent the day playing Kubb and having fun outside on Sunday. We also got to celebrate Tammy’s birthday with everyone on Saturday night and have our own Cinco de Mayo celebration on Sunday with lethal margaritas courtesy of the Daily’s!

Two pitches going at Olson Family Kubb Tournament!

My son’s king shot.

Good throw to start game of Kubb!
