Nashville...

It was a quick, packed weekend so the only touristy thing we had time for was the Hermitage...it was SO hot and muggy, we didn't stay long...

The Magnolia trees were GORGEOUS! 

My cousin Alicia got married on Saturday June 21st...

William and the Groom, Alex, looking very serious right before the big moment!

Charlie was a crazy little goofball the whole day...we eventually let the kids go back to the house we rented early...

Kokomo...

Kokomo Auto Museum- The boys loved being able to climb around in this Tin Lizzy!





Flying on the swing!

The cats kept disappearing into the garage through this window and this kids were dying to catch one...

William sat up in the crab apple tree and chucked little crab apples at anyone who came too close...
We are SO glad we added the days to stop and see Happy.  Suddenly, his age seems to be catching up to him, and it was so shocking to see him unable to do all the things we usually do.  I took the boys to the Kokomo Auto Museum with my Mom and we had a great time seeing all the classics in one place.  I got tenderloins for everyone at Ray's and then brought the kids to the hotel and took lunch back to Jason and Happy.  Happy said he hasn't been feeling like eating, but no one can resist a milkshake and a tenderloin and he ate it up!  Jason and Happy got lots of time together while I kept the boys occupied.  Happy and Marlene came to Bob Evans on the final morning so we could all have breakfast together before we hit the road.  It was really hard saying goodbye, but we will try and see him again this year if we can manage it....Aging sucks.

Fort Snelling...

William talks with a soldier...

Exploring...



Playing old fashioned children's games...this one is called "the game of graces"


Love this!  They look like two old guys in a general store! 

Charlie inspects his troops!

Summer...In No Particular Order...

Blogger is broken.  I don't know why, but here are a few
pics I managed to load over 2 hours of failing again and again.  Enjoy!  Hopefully I can update later.
