Trip to Poppy Duke and GG's

Here's a few pictures from our trip to see Poppy Duke and GG over Memorial Day weekend. The highlight for the grown ups was making the trek up through Tipton to Hobbs, IN to see the old School House!

Daddy loved seeing the place where he had his first job of cleaning up all the dead flies from the window sills!

We had a minor potty emergency once we got there...but lucky for us, many years ago, Poppy gave some of the School House land to the volunteer fire dept so they could build a new station! The leader recognized "ol' Ed" right away and let us crash his grandson's graduation party to use the restroom! Thanks Ken!!

After the potty break, we all enjoyed just hanging out at the School House.

Back at the homestead, Tyler and Brooklyn shared with GG and Poppy Duke...

We all went to eat at the Cracker Barrel where GG showed Tyler how to play the triangle peg game...the little stinker won!!

 

Uncle Chuck invited us over to his place for a cookout! Mae had a great time!

 

Tyler and Brooklyn met their second cousins Elliot and Grant...

Hmmmm...what kind of trouble can we get into....

Instant friends?....

....Or partners in crime? Check out the deer skeleton on one of Uncle Chuck's cool trails!

It's a photo miracle...4 smiling faces!

Turns out Mr. Jeremy is a bubble whisperer!

After an awesome weekend it was time to go home.

What are the chances we'd see the official Wiener Mobile on the way home!!

Thanks everyone for a great visit!!

 

School Bus!

Brooklyn anxiously waiting for big brother....

He's home!!

Check out Mr. Cool Dude at the "Camp Stinger" kindergarten concert!

 

New Swingset!

Our new Swingset

This spring has been full of surprises...look at the color in our yard!

 

Things That Go!

Our Saturday started out with Brooklyn's first track meet...she got third place in the 100 meter dash!!

Next we went to a park where they had all sorts of "Things that go"!

Check out all the things we got to drive!

Even the Packer Bus was there!

As an extra bonus, Tyler got arrested by some storm troopers!

 

Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day weekend included a trip to the Timberrattlers minor league baseball game! It was cold and rainy, so we took our cotton candy home to eat!

We made this cool rock heart from our rock collections and gave it to Mommy on Sunday Morning...I think she likes it!

After church, we FaceTimed Nana.....

...we even took them outside and pretended it was warm while showing them signs of spring. This tree looks just like the red bud tree at their house in Texas!

We also went up to visit Great Grandma.... Daddy helped us decorate these special cakes for her!

It was great to see Aunt MaryLou, cousin Jeanna, and Aunt Sue and Uncle Dan too!

Happy Mother's Day!!
