Memorial Day Festivities










We went to the Children's Museum in Winston-Salem (about 1 hour away)today. At the Museum they had a interactive exhibit for Krispy Kreme's, (great marketing strategy) so of course after the museum we took everyone to the real Krispy Kreme's to let each kid pick out a donut. On the drive home Justin wanted to go strawberry picking, it was so hot that he ended up doing most of the picking while we sat in the air conditioned car. Then this evening Justin took Jaron and Alena on a bike ride on a trail along the Dan River. So nice to have a long weekend together as a family. Happy Memorial Day (do people say that?)

 

Gettysburg


Today we decided to go to Gettysburg. It was only about 1 hr 45 minutes and it was really fun. We did a driving tour with a CD we bought at the bookstore, it was very interesting. The kids were good and it was a beautiful but hot day.

My attempt at real belguim waffles


these turned out quite well, tasted almost exactly like the ones in Belguim, the key is the pearl sugar which is so expensive so these are a once a year delicacy.

WE'RE LOVING THE GREAT PHOTOS

Your mother is with the wife in another Military Relations Couple who was one of Aunt Lucy's Relief Society Presidents when she was Stake RS Pres. They're going to a base in Texas. This will be our last email/blog for a while. We start east tomorrow afternoon and hope to be to Oliver's by Sunday afternoon.





 
Some cute ones of baby Oliver, more slip and slide, and Ryan with the teeny little popsicles that I bought for him. I was actually sort of annoyed when I saw how tiny they were. They are like one bite each. He was playing with Joel's baseball bat the other day, and he swung it so hard that when he completed the swing, he hit himself in the face... which is why he has a black eye.

For Joel's birthday, he got a new slip and slide. The younger kids really enjoyed it!

Just Add Water




Spencer & his beautiful Prom date. He was so dazzled that a fern spontaneously grew out of his head.

FOR UNCLE LINCOLN

I like the sound of that Croatia coast trip! As I will be returning from Alaska, and shortly leaving for a frozen Idaho in January, a week in the Russian winter doesn't sound like my cup of vodka. Lets get some plans going though with my dad, sounds awesome!

Family Notice

Let us state emphatically that you can't possibly send to many photos of our grandkids, especially while we're on our mission. Thanks to Allyson and the rest of you who thoughtfully post them. We really enjoy and appreciate them.
Dad and Mom
