The first two weekends in September involved a lot of people gatherings. There was a birthday, an unusually social Pokemon Go event, rarely-seen-uncle festivities, and dinner with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In between, Finnur kept working on the eternal back-yard wall, and the weather kept being nice but chilly, so we began buying winter shoes. (30-ish images total)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Saturday morning there was a new form of Pokemon event. The local players had worked out a plan for people to follow to work together to get a rather rare figure. It was good fun! This is the group by H\u00f6f\u00f0i.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
