A GREAT FAMILY TIME














We left for Kansas City on Friday morning and arrived at Phil & Julie's house by mid-afternoon where we stayed for the weekend.

We went out for dinner together, all our children and their spouses, and the grandkids were with babysitters. We ate at Jose Peppers and had a fun time together. We did have Molly and Ella with us.

Saturday was Rog's birthday and we started the day by taking most of our grandkids on a walk and ended up at the park across the street from June's house so the children could play. Grandpa left for a few minutes to buy an ice cream treat for everyone. Later that evening we had a barbeque at June and Damon's and celebrated Rog's 64th birthday.

As the evening was about over and we were going to pick up the back yard, we noticed that the trampoline enclosure net had taken some abuse so I just happened to have my nylon thread with needle along and I began repairing the net. The big hole you see was completely closed and Melanie came along to help me and we also repaired about a 4 ft. area on the other side. It was dark so we couldn't finish the last hole but we accomplished a lot in the one hour we did have.

Sunday morning we all went to church with Damon & June and of course the cousins loved that. After church we went to a pizza place and had pizza together for lunch and then it was time to head back to Julies to pack up and head for Salina.

We left about 2:30 p.m. and arrived in Salina around 5:45 p.m. We spent the night with Mom & Dad and then returned to Hutchinson on Monday afternoon.

What a wonderful time with our kids and grandkids and they treat us so special that we want to say a big THANK YOU! for the great weekend. We love you all!
