A Foggy Visit

This weekend we had the pleasure of hosting my cousin and her family at our home.  They made the round-about trip from San Francisco to Chicago with stops in Ames, IA and of course here in Kieler.  It was a GREAT visit.  Marla and Jason's son, Ethan is 2 yrs.  falling right in between our girls.  He and Katie had so much fun playing cousin to cousin.  They really hit it off.  We welcomed them Sunday afternoon and had pizza last night at Gooch's in downtown Kieler.  We shared great conversations over a few Potosi Steamboat Shandys.  This morning the girls and I brought them down to the Mississippi at Lou's Sandy Dam Acres.  Showed them Deere, cattle, chickens, turkeys, tractors, trains, dump trucks and dirtied their shoes a bit.  Ethan liked it.  Unfortunately the visit was short lived but after such a pleasant time promises were made to do it again...in CA, WI, IL or maybe TX next time.

Trying to get the kids to look at the camera.

Notice Kate's face hasn't changed.

Two out of three ain't bad.

Enjoying the playset in the backyard with Ethan.
