Our Mini Vacation

We started our little vacation by taking a load of our stuff to a storage unit by my parent's home. We stayed the night at Grandpa Eugene's and picked up a bed before going on to the storage unit. Carol and Bryan and their family came over, along with Uncle Josph and Aunt Necha and family. It was fun to see the progress of Carol and Bryan's home and how all the kids have grown.

The next day, Dad and Garrett unloaded the uhaul. We went back to the house and took a fun trip down memory lane by taking the boys out onto the farm (sadly, I forgot my camera). Then, a lot of my family showed up - all of them except Stephanie - and we ate a yummy meal. Sunday, we went to church with Grandma and Grandpa Z. Jonathan braved his first class away from home and did ok after the treats came around. Monday, Jonathan and Gabe stayed with Grandma Z while Garrett, Jacob and I took a look at some property and potential employment for Garrett. That night, we left for Grandma Vickie and Grandpa Darrell's home.
Tuesday night, Shawn and Carissa came over for dinner. Garrett grilled some chicken and Mom made her famous potato salad. Aunt Diane and Uncle Jerry and one of their boys came over. We got a nice group picture - thanks to the them.
That night, we left for Grandpa Eugene's where we also got to see Uncle Joseph. Jonathan and Uncle Joseph played some "duets". As you can see, Jonathan thought that was pretty neat!
The boys shimmied over to Grandpa Eugene and posed for a picture....
....and then, Uncle Joseph started tickling them both.It was a fun week, but it's been nice to be at home to enjoy our last few weeks before we leave our home for new adventures elsewhere!
