FUN time in Michigan....May 22 thru June 5

I must say we had a good time in Michigan!!!!   And what a lot of people we saw!!  Three cousins parties (Peters, Becksfords, and Verduins).......a track meet (Go Trenton --- his relay team came in 4th in the State and Trenton received All State in Track and All State Academics----I don't understand all that but I'm sure most of you do) ......farming for Mike........haying with Dennis.......repairing machinery for Dennis.......out for breakfast with good friends ......a fun Memorial Day party with family......lunch with kids at school (5 of the grandkids).....riveting on Bills airplane......a wedding to celebrate....a game farkle with some good friends....... a great school musical and then just plain fun with our kids and grandkids.

Maybe the best way to do it is to put some photos on this blog......we have a new computer here ---- so will give all of this new stuff a try.

 Are these great looking grandkids or what!!!  Top row from the left.... Clayton, Brennan, and Sawyer
Sitting on the wagon from the left..... Colton, Sidney, Oliver, Trenton, Keller, Halle, and Austin.   Wonderful Kids!!

 Farming for Mike.....looks like downtown suburbia.......

 April and Ryon had a very lovely wedding.....this turned real messy .....

Missy and her husband take the stage ---- what a fun couple!!

Gary on the Johnny Popper.............

 Just some good ole' fun with bubbles......this is Sawyer catching one....

Sandyview Elementary school.....grades K-4.

Poor Sawyer....Grandpa's picking on you again.

The boys were waiting for the school bus when we arrived.   Oh Man !!!! What a wonderful smell new hay has!!!   LOVE IT.  Dennis had a big job waiting him --- putting these all in the barn.... I think Clayton counted 64 bales.

We took Colton home with us, with the agreement that Brennan will be able to come in 2 weeks when we meet in DesMoines to do the switch.   We arrived to see our lawn in GREAT need....could have baled it.  But we had a good trip home, got the lawn mowed  and it looks so nice and green.....they had lots or rain while we were gone.  Lots of activities waiting for us.

Trying to entertain a young boy and also focus on lessons and camp and all those things.
Thanks for your continued prayers.
Gary and Barb
