Aidan, Caleb, and Hudson visited us with their parents in early July on their way up to Lake
Superior, Green Bay, and the Kendrick family farm in Illinois. Here they all are with grandma
at the Candy Emporium.
Daravia helped organize a water balloon fight with the boys as part of Caleb's birthday party.
They were supposed to be posing for the camera here, but Mason was busy breaking
another balloon on Ray. He does look guilty.
Grandma Carol got out her old manual typewriter out for Hudson and a toy one for Madelyn.
The boy cousins drinking slushies at Craig's Cruisers after winning prizes.
The chicken statue between the yards at grandma
and grandpa's house is still a favorite of Madelyn's.
Mason went fishing with grandpa and caught a catfish.
Mason caught about 30 little white bass, some two
at a time on perch rigs that had two hooks.
Madelyn licks the blue frosting off the cracker at Fellowship Churches VBS.
Grandma and grandpa took M & M to the Lewis Farm near New Era.
Madelyn feeds a canary in the aviary in this photo.

cows, horses, ponies, chickens, rabbits, wallabies, prairie dogs, and
other animals at the farm.
