Disney World

Warren's mom let us use her timeshare in Orlando as our Christmas gift this year. What an awesome gift! Thank you Evelyn! We had a blast. The girls absoltuley loved Disney and meeting the princesses. We had a great time swimming and enjoying the Florida sunshine. It was tough to come back to 40 below windchill. brrrrrr

Georgia

On our way down to Florida for our vacation away from the cold we stopped in Valdosta, Georgia to stay with some old (not elderly) friends for a day. It was great to see Ben and Tracy and thier new little grandaughter, Poppy. They are such wonderful people and great hosts. Thank you Ben and Tracy for your southern hospitality. We love y'all!

Vacation: Lake Okoboji, Iowa Camping

After two days in Lake City, we headed north to Lake Okoboji area. We got a great campsite at Emmerson Bay State Park. The best part was it was only $11/night! It was right near the lake. there were not a lot of mosquitoes, and We didn't get rained on. Thank you God!!!! These pics are from our site.

Rodeo Days Parade

Waiting for Candy. Ella kept yelling out "I'm waving. I'm waving." and Sophia kept saying "More canny pease."

Jumping with excitement.

At the rodeo with our friends the Batz's and some other friends of Warren's from high school.

Warren's reunion was a fun trip. It was nice to meet some of his friends and see some of them that I already knew. It was fun hearing stories too. :) We got rained on a little at the end of the family picnic and during the rodeo, but just briefly. It was still pretty fun.
