Fun Weekend at Pokagon

What a great weekend we had. My sister - in - law and her family came up from South Carolina, and we had extended family come from Michigan. Ma and Pa Keller planned an outing for everyone at Pokagon Park. They found a nice place by the playground with lots of shade. We had taco salad and lots of desserts. Later in the afternoon, Joe and I took those who wanted to go out on the boat and pulled them on the tube. The kids had a BLAST! There were 10 kids total and all but 2 kids (babies) went on the tube. Some of the parents also joined their children. The kids had such a good time they didn't even care there was a storm coming, they just wanted to go again and again. We finally had to go because it started raining. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the day. We had a GREAT time!

Austin, Leah, Myka, Gracie

On Friday Jenna and Adam came over to play Wii - Rock Band and the kids went back to Gracie's room to watch the Hannah Montana 3-D concert.

Webster Lake

Austin finally had his cast taken off on Thursday, so we wasted no time, to the lake we went. This was our first outing on our boat and I forgot my camera. Thank goodness Joe always has his cell. You can't really see much, but this was Austin's first experience with tubing so I had to have Joe take a picture. He looks so far away, but he was smiling the whole time.

Joe wanted to tube this time also, so I drove the boat for the first time while he tubed. It was quite the experience for both of us. Sorry no picture of that. : )

VBS Fun!

Gracie wanted to find someplace to go to VBS this year. Our new church doesn't have VBS and with gas prices our old church is to far away. We found this new little Lutheran church down the street and it was perfect. There was a total of 40 kids and we are use to 200+ kids. This was the perfect place for me to leave Austin for his first year in VBS. Gracie and Austin both had a blast and could not wait till friday to put on this little show for me. I was surprised how quickly Austin picked up on the songs and the hand motions. Gracie loves performing in front of others. I can see her in a high school drama someday.

Notice Austin sporting his new ORANGE cast.

more VBS fun!

When it was over they told the kids to find their parents and Austin came right over and said "Wasn't that so cool mom." They get 2 thumbs up from me.

Tennis anyone?

Carroll High Schools future all star " Gracie Keller". This is the second year she has played tennis through Fort Wayne Parks and Rec. She really seems to enjoy playing. She is in a group of 8 to 12 year old kids.

Two-Headed Monster and their dog

I just thought this looked funny, so I had to post it.
