The weekend of 8/4, the Cline 5 took to Iowa for a Cline/Landy family reunion in Mason City. We stayed at the Historic Park Inn Hotel which is a Frank Lloyd Wright building. Pretty cool.

We got in late on Friday but, before bed, stayed up to meet with everyone in the hotel lounge where we toasted to Aunt Bonnie (Grandpa Homey’s amazing sister) and to my mom. <3

Happy Sammy with Grandma Betsy

By 9 or 9:30pm CST, Steven was asleep in my laps. I carried him all the way to bed.

The whole Friday night crew, minus Jason, who took the picture.

We spent Saturday morning, through lunch, at Grandpa Homey and Grandma Betsy’s house.

We spent a few hours in the afternoon at the lake. The kids had a blast in the water with their big cousins.

Dinner was a walk away, back at cousin Alana and Brian’s house

Amaya and Ella – Amaya was thrilled to meet Ella who was on an episode of American Ninja Warrior!

Big cousins are the best

Sunday morning we all had brunch and then the Cline 5 headed back to Minneapolis to head home to MI.

The whole gang!

Delayed, but happy.

Bubba and I synced up to watch Top Gun Maverick on the flight home.

It was a wonderful weekend. <3
