Sunday afternoon, we went to my dad's cousin Peggy's house for supper and to do some singing. She is part of a professional choir, so she had a few of the other members join to learn how to sing hymns.

IA/NY Vacation # 2
I left Iowa on Thursday evening with U. Andy, A. Becky & Elisabeth and we started the 20 hour drive to New York. We drove all night and took turns driving and sleeping. It went well and seemed to go by fairly fast! We arrived in New York around lunch time and went shopping at the Watertown mall. We then had supper with Joseph & Bernice. Elisabeth and I stayed with Aunt Carol on Friday night.
This was the evening sun poking through the trees:
On Saturday, Aunt Carol, Elisabeth and I went shopping again and just simply had fun together. After that, we headed back to Aunt Alice's where we had dinner with the family.

IA/NY Vacation # 1
I flew out of Hartford on Friday July 5th and flew into Minneapolis. My cousin, Laura, came to pick me up at the airport and we drove the 3 hours back to West Bend, IA where I surprised my cousin Elisabeth. She had no idea and was stunned to see me at the door! Mission successful!
The clouds from the plane:
Taken just a few minutes after the surprise!
Laura's 2 year old, Troy:
After supper that night, we did sparklers with the boys. They loved them!
The next day was the West Bend 4th of July celebration. I didn't take any pictures of the parade since I got to ride in the ambulance.
This was the pretty sunset later that day:
Daniel received a bike from Mindy's Miles. He was thrilled!
The same sunset, just a while later.
Then we watched the fireworks:
Unfortunately, that's about all I took for pictures while in West Bend. But stay tuned for the rest of my vacation!

My 4th
For the 4th of July, we went up to East Longmeadow to watch the parade. See last year's parade here. After that, we went back to Uncle John's for a picnic since we had family here from New York. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures there. I didn't stay too late since I was flying out very early the next morning.
Isn't he just so cute??
Aaliyah was sitting on my mom's lap and this clown came over and told her to come here. He reached for her hand and she went right away! It was adorable!
