Grandma Wagner's house- July 8.

We visited Grandma Wagner for lunch.

She and Bea got to spend some time together when June and Georgie weren't talking her ear off.

July 8th is Grandpa's birthday, so we walked over to the cemetery to sing to him.

I found this picture of Grandpa's 80th birthday- 16 years ago.  I think we all look the same, right?

Behind the church, June and Tessa had some pretty serious footraces.

We headed out back to look around and take a few pictures.

It was really windy!

While we were out there, we picked elderberries.

And Grandma made sure no one forgot about Bea.

Kevin showed up with the older kids and they had some good old fashioned fun.

I love this picture with Grandma's house in the background.

The dog piles was fun too- until Tessa got elbowed.

Grandma with 8 of the 9 kids.  Tessa was still mad about the elbowing.

We switched kids with Uncle Kevin and came back with the big kids.  Grandpa and I took Henry, Natalie and Oliver to Independence Dam to ride bikes.  Henry and Oliver hit every mud puddle they could find.  After 6 miles of that, we made them turn their clothes backward to ride home.

Luckily, the ride home included a stop at the Apache Dairy Bar in Sherwood.

We also drove past our old house on Mud Creek. It's looking much worse for the wear.  Now the garage is missing.
