Vacation 2012...part 1





We just returned form going to see the family!!!
We had a great time as usual...mostly because it had been 
a full 4 months since we had seen Jen, Tyson and the kidos.
(But it really felt more like a year!)




 We arrived in time to go to Merrick and Berkleigh's new school's
ribbon cutting ceremony!!!
They are the first Kindergarten class of the Battle Creek Bears
Elementary......how fun for them!!!

  
The library books were brand new...
  
The gym is brand new... 
  
They have brand new school shirts....

 ....and a brand new playground!!!
It was awesome and they are very excited to start
and we are very excited for them!!!


 We also went to Silver Falls State Park....


 and walked down and behind Silver Falls.


It was especially fun to have this little munchkin
along for the ride.

  
Grandpa and Quincy went ahead of us and when we
finally caught up to them...they were just
taking it easy!!!

  
Berkleigh got really thirsty so we stopped for a drink!!!
  
And we were lucky enough to have Uncle Matthew
come too!!!

  
And in case you don't know this already....
Jennifer always has a project for us when we come to visit!!!
I am not complaining because if I were her, I would also
take advantage of having three extra adults
around for a week.

 Matthew and Jen sanded and painted the crib...


 While Grandpa and I painted B and Q's room 
and the rocking chair.



 It looks fabulous and it will even look more
fabulous when Jen finishes decorating.


I really don't know how these two pictures got out of order
but I am not going to worry about it.
The Battle Creek Elementary also has a new cafeteria!!!
And you will have to wait for the rest of our vaca pictures
during part 2....
