We had a busy day!!
Shannon and Briley just before leaving to see the Gruetli-Laager parade. Ponds don't look to bad, despite being neglected
When we are not in the parade, then we watch it here, at Ralph and Dorris's Cristal, you can see Shannon in the reflection on her sunglasses Shannon with her eyes open
Briley patiently waiting on the parade Finally, here it comes up 55th ave. Those sirens are loud!!
Mr. Clay Gomer The Magouirks Ruehlings are everywhere!
Mr. Wyatt Cooper Briley was so glad to see baby boy (Noah Cooper) Baby boy
Briley After a brief rest at home, we go to Dale and Emily's home for a big gathering Getting ready for a 'hay ride'
Shannon and Briley Dale, taking us to Camp Beulah Dale decided to try a different way, didn't work in this one spot. Everybody had to get off for a moment. The hill is even steeper than it looks in this pic
