Summer Fun

The photos of your visit to Chicago are good. Since you don't do FB I'll put this photo here. The three Johanson women look very cosmopolitan. No one has mentioned if Jessica was sooo impressed. Anyway I’m sure you had a good visit and you were happy to show them Chicago.

Your trip to the Galapagos sounds wonderful but the holiday time won’t work for me. Too many fun Santa things at that time of the year and the boys need to be entertained.
Really Grandma is entertained most of all at the holiday season.

Summer is great now that the weather is very hot. Barb and Ryan stayed here one night and it was very cool for several days in a row. Here is Barb demonstrating all her trampoline tricks for Ryan.Rachel attended a basketball camp at Gonzaga University and we got to watch the final day. We all had a great time seeing how the girls did at sports camp.

My mom just celebrated her 92nd birthday with cupcakes, horns for the boys, and cards. Here she is with flowers from her little brother. Erna Kisler never forgets to send her a card, Diana, Betty, Claire, also remembered but my mom was not happy to receive the cards. She said it meant she was getting too old.

Cyd and family returned this past weekend to attend the Wiggles concert in town. Three little boys went along with four adults. Lucas, of course, was too old for such a thing. We had a lovely time until the ride home in the car when sweet Peyton decided to scream for the entire 20 minutes. It was something about wanting a cookie at the concert though no one could be certain of his problem. We all tried to follow Anna Marie’s advice to ignore him but it was very difficult.

This afternoon I’m waiting for the arrival of Linda’s siblings en route on their trip from a Montana family reunion. It is very warm so I’m sure they will enjoy being out of the car for a night. Sara and her husband will also be stopping by later in the week. I hope the pool stays together for a few more years so the company will keep coming.

Here is a photo of Shizuo’s girlfriend, Oksana. She’s pretty cute I’d say. We’ll have to wait to see when he takes her home to meet the family.

I almost forgot this nice photo of Hanna Schott with her grandchild. She looks so good.
