Ciancanelli Family Scrapbook

These are pictures from over the last few years with Grandpa. They have a trailer up north on Sand Lake in Squaw Lake, Minnesota. One of Grandpa's favorite places to be is sitting around the fire with all his kids, grandkids and great-grandkids or making his famous pizza "fretes" (fried pizza dough) and having a fish fry/pot luck dinner.

Sitting around the fire

Every Memorial weekend we try to get as many of us as possible to go up north for a famliy weekend. We have a fish fry, euchre tournaments, bonfires, we tell stories of old memories and make new ones. Grampa is always the first to fall asleep in his lawn chair at the fire!
