Sorry we're so far behind on posting to the blog. Since our last post Dusty and I went to Chicago for a nice anniversary get away. The kids enjoyed spending time with all the grandparents in Kansas. A few weeks later we were back in Kansas for cousin Carrie's wedding. We took family pics while we were home with the Johannings. We managed to get nine other people to join us at the Royals game on Sunday, August 3rd. The next morning we were off to Oklahoma to visit the great granparents. We had lots of fun spending time with them. At the end of the week we headed back from Oklahoma to Kansas and met Dusty's family at Melvern lake for a weekend of camping. We managed to get one night of camping in before we were completely rained out. We came back on Sunday to spend a few hours out on Pa Pa's boat so that Daddy could ski and Jonathan could experience riding on the boat. After 9 days we made it back home to Nebraska. We've been home now for a couple of weeks and only have one more road trip planned for the summer. We're heading to Wyoming to see our friends Jack, Mandy, and Dani. Wow! We've had a busy, but fun summer. We are so happy we've had a chance to see so many of our family and friends. A few selected pictures follow.
This is a shot of "The Bean" as it's affectionately called in Chicago. It's a large bean shaped sculpture by Anish Kapoor that has a surface like a mirror. Dusty and I are near the middle of the picture. You can see me taking the photo with my orange bag. The Chicago sky line is in the background.
Cousin Carrie exchanging rings with her new hubby Matt. Congratulations!
Here's a shot of Jonathan, Cousin Amy, Dusty, and Jakob running the bases after the Royals game. It was fun but man was it hot!
Our visit with Great Grams & Ron was first in Pryor and then we were off to Mazie to see Great Grandma and Grandpa Walsh.
Jonathan and Johanna enjoyed swimming in the lake with Daddy. Johanna didn't mind her life jacket as long as she got to splash around with dad.
