Rest in Peace Judy

Michele and I made a quick trip to Iowa this weekend to attend her Aunt Judy's funeral. As with any family related gathering, I took lots of pictures.

Here's Nick with White Stuff.
 

Here's Sophie.
 

More White Stuff.
 

More Sophie.
 

Sophie again.
 

White Stuff again.
 

Here's Long Legs.

Summer Vacation - Mike and Marilyn's Part I

Our final destination for our trip was the farm of Mike and Marilyn. Their farm is like a home away from home for us. We enjoy the wide open spaces, the clean air, the generous hospitality, and the company of great people. Here's a previous blog entry from when the kids were much younger. My how they've grown.

Marilyn leads the family on a tour of the farm.
 

Mike checks the sweet corn to see if it's ready, and it is.
 

Mike walks the ditch looking for noxious weeds.

Mike doesn't have the gator anymore, now the guys cruise in the rhino.
 

 

Alex gets out of the way so Mike can move the tractor.
 

Michele reluctantly provides me with a photo op. I tried to get her to do the karate kid stance for an interesting effect, but she just wasn't in the mood to look that silly.

Mike and Marilyn's

We love to visit Mike and Marilyn on their farm in Iowa. Here are some highlights of a 2001 trip.

This is Nick, Alex and Mike sharing a moment in the Gator.

Alex, Nick and Mike with the Gator at cruising speed.

Nick literally up to his nose.

Taking a much deserved break.
