So much to do...so little time...

A few pictures from the Florida Ketcher week in MN.

Above is a candid from our gathering at my sister Sue's

on Saturday. 

 We roasted lots of marshmellows throughout the

week...at home and at the campsite.

 Celebrated July 4th with some sparklers at the river

That's Brighton, Chad and Matthew.

 Here the four boys get ready for supper al fresco...

 This doesn't happen often enough.  Me with all 6 grandkids...

Nathaniel (8), Brighton (6), Everleigh (almost 2), Andrew on

Jonathan's lap (16 mos and 10 years), Matthew (12)standing

.

 Like I said...lots of smores.  Here Greg gives some assistance. 

A big thanks to him for all the grocery store runs,

filling my gas tank, starting campfires every night

and creating some unexpected fun.

 The boys, Chad and LoriAnn visit Como Zoo.

 We are about to go to the zoo in this picture...fortunately no one mistook us

for monkeys :)

 Jonathan strikes a pose in his dad's old boy scout uniform.

Yes..I still have it and aren't you glad I kept a lot of

this stuff now?

 Matthew used to be a bit timid around dogs/cats but he has overcome

his shyness.  This is Sue's neighbor's dog.

 Brighton determined to get down the slide.

They really love playground equipment and

Northfield had a couple of parks with

good stuff.

And Nathaniel shows off his slide

It was a great week.  Weather was picture perfect almost

every day.  We had enough activities and then down

time to keep us on our toes.  We spent time with

the rels.  We camped.  We talked.

We caught up on some fun the boys

remembered and loved about Minnesnowta.

Don't wait so long to come again...
