Last day of school, pool party, golfing, and the lake

Cole, Collin, Greyson, and Tayten walk home on the last day of third grade

They are excited to be fourth graders

Cole and some friends had a swimming party to celebrate the completion of a successful school year.

Eating some pizza and snacks to regain energy after the pool games
Cole and Claire went golfing at Wee Links on a peaceful Sunday afternoon (well, I guess Claire was more of a spectator/sleeper)

Patiently waiting to leave for a fishing trip on the pontoon...although we didn't catch any fish out on the boat, we sure caught a lot of fun!

Jeni, Janelle, and Taja close out the evening with a late night campfire

Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day weekend at Metigoshe. These pictures highlight a few of the many meaningful moments we experienced. At the cabin were Sherry, Janelle, Jerry, Abner, Lorraine, Mark, Tiffany, Jason, Jayden, Dawn, D.J., and more.

The Wheeling cabin provides us with lots of memories

Cole and D.J. man their fishing positions on the back of the pontoon.

Cole found success fishing off the end of the dock with D.J. Here's the nice northern he reeled in.

Kaydra found success while fishing off the boat. She caught two northern. The biggest was seven pounds.
