2023 - June 16 - 19 - 3rd Annual Family Party

 3rd Annual Whatcamacallit Family Party...

We rented a bouncy house this year from our neighbor half way 'round the country block. BIG HIT!

😂😂😂

Just FYI, Costco Key Lime Pie is delicious!

The set of 3 first grandbabies

As my boys would say a "way cool" photo where my husband grew up. Photo somewhere about 1978. So many memories in that house... and barn! 💓

Rosie's beginnings of a pencil drawing of her cousin NH.

Some people have go carts, we have a goat cart, but this time it is Joe Pippin cart.

This is the day we traditional take our annual photos.

I snapped a few but Eleanor is the phamily photographer.

(more posted later and maybe this year I will actually update our "about" page

😒

OHHHH!

💕💕💕

BWAHAHA

what a riot act to get the grandbaby photos!

We had a bit of a red, white, and blue theme, even the bouncy house matched. Originally our party was going to be the first weekend in July but that proved to be a bad day for at least one worker. Then it turned out someone else had to work the day we ended up with but at least that was nearby and not the whole day. Logistics are complicated. But at least everyone was here! Incidentally Belladonna crocheted the adorable little scarves Sam's 3 girls wore.

Loading photos! 

In the meantime our dear deceased friend Tom's headstone was put up! Our weary soldier, may you be resting in the peace and joy of your Heavenly reward! You are IMMENSELY missed!

It was also Father's day weekend

We were blessed that my parents were able to visit after a medical meeting in Chicago. Here they are with their 6 great grandchildren! 💗
