2nd Stop...West Bend Wisconsin...GG 80th Birthday!

Our 2nd Stop was to West Bend, Wisconsin where my mom's older brother, Brent and all of their family lives.  We celebrated Grandma Rachel's 80th birthday there and as always had a blast!  We have many traditions in our family and we did all of them...1. Have Fun 2. Play Bingo with Prizes 3. Laugh, Laugh and laugh more 4. Sing crazy songs and have a time of worship 5. Share funny stories and talk about our grandpa who we miss so much (we even watched his video before he passed away that they did which was neat for BIlly to see) 6. Eat lots of yummy food 7. Play games 8. Swim in the beautiful pool 9. Enjoy each other!  
It was one of the best weekends ever!  We are so thankful for our GG and that the Lord has blessed her with 80 years and more to come!  We love you all! 
Elliana LOVES to ride on boats!  She had soo much fun!  A girl after her mother/grandpa's heart! 
Marcus, Ben, and Kairus rolling around on the tube!  Fun Fun! 
Our little squirmy wormy trying to get in on the tube! 
Me, my cousin Amy, Momma Juju, and my cousin Katie! So fun to be with you all! 
Elliana sure held on tight to her daddy and felt safe in his arms...so precious! 
2 of the cutest and sweetest boys ever! We miss you guys! 
Elliana always riding or playing with something! 
Happy 80th Birthday Grandma Rachel...just kidding...its Aunt Ilze's...but g-ma did go for a ride with the top down!  How fun! 
Enjoying the beautiful pool!
