July and August





Benjamin had arranged all of Abigail's stuffed animals to welcome her back from our Utah trip. While we were in Utah, Benjamin went to a conference in the Netherlands and visited his sister in Norway.

Grandpa is showing Abby the fishing lures.

Fishing, 4-wheeling and canoing at Silver Flats. We had so much fun. Abigail said that Grandma went CRAZY FAST on the 4-wheeler. She loved helping reel in a fish while we were out on the canoe.
