A Visit From the Oergels

(turn on your sound)This fourth of July Tracie, Marc, Olivia, Emma, and Marcus came to our house to visit. We were very busy. On Saturday Marc and Tavein went shotting and the rest of us went to Farmer's Market.

The Kids started off by purchasing some cute book ends.

Next the girls found Butterfly wings and

and Marcus found a wooden truck that he liked.

They had a very successful trip.

They brought the outfits they will be wearing in a wedding in August so I could do a little bit of altering. They are so cute in these cloths. Marcus is such a gentleman in his tux. And the girls look like princesses.

Emma models her wing.

During the afternoon the girls and Tracie played a fishing game while Marcus took his nap.

The girls even entertained us with a song.

A visit isn't complete without some good food and the kids found an ideal place to sit.

Sunday morning we went to Ryan Dam.

The girls and Tavein pose for a picture.

After naps we headed to the parade. Olivia and Emma wait patiently for all of us to get going.

Marcus and Emma salute the flag as it goes by.

A quick picture of all watching the parade.

Meadow Gold passed out ice cream for all to enjoy.

The hot tub was a great hit. They played in it for about an hour.

Then they took some time to play in the yard with all the toys.

Bedtime came way to fast. Tavein gave some cuddles and then off to bed all went.

Monday morning the kids played in the park up the street. The had lots of fun climbing and sliding.

This was such a special visit. I wish they lived closer so we could see them more often. We enjoyed watching the kids play and visiting with Tracie and Marc. Thanks Marc, Tracie, Olivia, Emma, and Marcus for coming and spending the Fourth with us. I can't express how much this visit ment to me. But is will always be a very special memory.

We had a great time. Hope you did too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACIE

We wish you a happy birthday and a great year.
Love always, Mom and Dad.

(Here is a special song just for you.

I couldn't resist. So sit back and listen to the song.)

A Day at the Pumpkin Patch

We started off our day with the best pumpkin doughnuts.
Then we headed for the pumpkin patch. Once there we played
on the hay maze...

Jumped on a large pile of hay....

Checked out the animals...

And (what we do best thanks to all of mom's training)
poised for lots of pictures.

Marcus even found a ball to play with.
