The Sather / Gransaether Clan

Cousins in folk costumes (bunads). Norwegians are always considered well dressed when wearing their bunads.

There are very strict rules about how to wear your bunad, including only wearing costumes from your family's home region.

This is only one of the folk dances demonstrated for us by the Gransaethers.

Third cousins Martine, Eline, Chelsea

Three fathers traveled alone with their kids: Phil and Emily Peterson, Chelsea and Greg Moore, Dale and Noah Sather. I call them the "mono padres."
