The Great Northern Birthday Blowout

Within a month's time, Justin, Ryan, Mickey, and myself all turn 30 earth years. To celebrate that moment of historic significance, along with Jake's 30 years and Keely's birthday, the 918 crew returned to the hills of Duluth. After years of navigating the slopes of the Spirit Mountain some of my friends found caves hidden to the north and were able to construct "homes" in them. (Some even found the ability to reproduce.) They opened their rock doors to Nicole and I, which allowed us ample time for nuzzling with Ryan.


Newly birthed Maarit was able to spend a day with us along with her parents, which included a scenic walk through a wilderness area. Jake did his best to stay in the darkness to conceal the diamonds in his skin that would glisten if he entered the sunlight. 

Duluth pack!

There was some downtime where childless Ryan required a nap. He must be worn out from all the rock counting he does at the office. 

Grandpa Jake tired quickly from mounting losses during the required 6 hours of Settlers of Catan.
