Grandpa Bob's Celebration

This past weekend we went to Williston to celebrate Grandpa Bob.  We miss him dearly.  We stayed at Aunt Colleen's house.  She is a great house and you ladies loved exploring all the nooks and crannies and playing with all the animals.  When we first got there we went on a tour to see all the animals.  Aunt Colleen has dogs, cats, fish, cows, and birds.  We were in the back looking at the birds and daddy says" is that snake supposed to be on the cage with the birds."  Mommy, thought he was joking because Aunt Colleen has almost every type of animal at her house and also since daddy know that mommy is so afraid of snakes.  Well daddy was not joking and Aunt Colleen jumped up and down saying you found the snake, it has been missing for weeks.  Well let's just say that mommy moved out of that room faster then you have ever seen her move before :)

Later that night all the girls came over (Kelly, Paige and their daughters) for dinner.  Lily you were appointed as Kelly's cupcake assistance and you took your job very seriously, as you can tell from the pictures.

When we woke up the next morning we had to feed the cows.  Aunt Colleen has Zebu Cows and they are adorable.  In order to get the cows to come to the side of the house you have to yell out the back "come and eat cows...breakfast is ready cows."

After the cows and people had breakfast it was time to get ready for the celebration.  We were celebrating Grandpa Bob's life.

Beautiful girls

There were so many people that came over to the house that day, it had to be hundreds.  Grandpa Bob was loved by so many and is missed by even more.  Nana and Papa came over to Williston for the celebration.  It was nice to see them and we were able to get some good pictures of you ladies and your grandparents.

So this is when you ladies decided to lighten up the afternoon.  You began exploring the lions in the front of the house, and let's just say at one point you had everyone laughing :)

hello Mr. Lion

Ride those lions

The lion riding took a lot out of you so you decided to have some quite time.  I looked over on the other side of the porch and saw this image.  This is one of my favorite pictures of you ladies.  The light is perfect, the setting is tranquil. With everything else going on you ladies were in your own little world.

So next is where things started to get interesting.  You ladies had not yet napped and it was a very long day. We had some dinner and hung out with family.

So Em, I'm not sure if it was the lack of sleep or all the sweets that you acquired during the day, but you put on quite the show.

On Sunday, we slept in a little, but then it was time to get back on the road.  We hung out with Aunt Colleen on the swing.

Since we had not yet had breakfast we decided to go to Cracker Barrel.

After a nice breakfast we were back on the road again and headed home.

It was such a great weekend, what could have been a really sad event, was filled with love, laughter and memories.  I would say it was a great weekend.
