We had a busy but relaxing weekend. Filled with lots of quality time with family. On Sunday we went to the cemetery in Winterset, IA where my parents grew up and where many of my family member are buried. The local VFW puts on a great show with hundreds of American flags which is even more impressive when you realize that the town only has a population of 5000.
Later that afternoon we gathered at my Aunt’s house in Truro, IA for a picnic. Where Gavin had a chance to play with many of his second cousins that he only see once every two years or so. I couldn’t help but think that the next time he saw them they might be too (teenager) cool to want to play with a big bouncy ball in the back yard.
I had to share this picture that Eric snapped of me talking to my Mom’s sister, Pepper, Pepper’s Husband, their daughter Brenda and my Aunt Pat (in the teal blouse). I love the expression on my face. I wonder how often I make that face when in conversation?
On Monday we were all itching to get out of the house again so we headed to Viking Lake (about 30 mins away). We had such a good time hiking and picnicking at this lake it sealed the deal for us to get a canoe.
Even Ralphy was well behaved and had a good time.
