"Time Out" with the Littles

Every once in a while you just  have to "get out of Dodge." This weekend took us to Ohio where we met up with Elder and Sister Little who are serving in far off Kentucky. Our first stop took us to the Hopewell Culture National Historic Park in Chillicothe. Later, in the evening, we attended Tecumseh! an outdoor historical drama. As the brochure says...it was captivating, fascinating, and mesmerizing! After a good night's sleep, we enjoyed a session at the Columbus Temple. A good time was had by all! 

 

More Company

Amber, Dave, Lincoln, and Oliver visited us this week. It was so good to see them and show them around Indiana. 



Here we are at the Mid-America Windmill Museum. I know - who knew!!!

Thanks to the Stanley's, we enjoyed a beautiful afternoon on Clear Lake.

A picnic on the island.

Car Show and story-time with sleepy Grandpa.

  

And, of course, Shipshewana.

Fun at the park...

...and on the deck.

A wonderful Scottish Dinner at the Balls.


And, thanks to the Bodies, a delicious BBQ and pontoon ride on their Lake Gage.

 That week sure went fast! Can't believe how quiet and lonely it is around here now that they're gone.

Company

It's always fun to have company - especially when it's your own family! Thank you, Nathan, Kristy, Christian, Michael, Finn, and Esplan for coming out to see us. We had a great time showing you around. Sorry we couldn't tell you what a Hoosier is. No one really seems to know! Haha. Anyway, your visit was a blessing to Grandma and Grandpa.

Sporting their Indiana shirts - Yes, there is one Michigan one in there,too.

Our day reliving the past - in Shipshewana.

After our movie (Planes, Fire and Rescue) the grandkids just had to eat at Steak 'n Shake. After all, it's one of the Elders favorite places!!!


 Thanks to the Stanleys, we enjoyed a fabulous afternoon and evening at Clear Lake.
