Fun at the Dells

The first of June, our family gathered in this beautiful cabin at the Wisconsin Dells. We had a wonderful time together. We took many picutres following are just a few of them.


At the end of a delightful path was this neat swing by the water's edge.

The children made Grandpa and Grandma thank you pictures for the week-end. Here we are sharing them together.






Playing on the spacious deck of our cabin. We have 10 children all together.

Baby Samuel won't remember this trip but Grandma always likes a baby to hold.
Jackson was all tired out. This was one of many poolside naps.

A Memorial Day Visit

Chaun and Becky and Jonathan, Katelyn and Eleanor came to Meriden for a Memorial Day visit. We did a lot of thing and had a great visit. Thanks for coming. We LOVE it when our children come home.

It was Memorial Day and we enjoyed the service at the cemetery together. Here Jonny helps Grandpa display the flag for the pledge.

Ellie was happy, as always.

Jonny and I visited graves of the soldiers and thanked them for their sacrifice.





A cute family picture.

A good picture of a really fun visit. We LOVED having you here.









A Trip To The Zoo

We always love to go to the Omaha Zoo. This particular day was beautiful weather. This fellow was what we saw first. He was very vocal and loud and scared the kids. It was a wonderful way to start. :)
