The Happy Traveler!

Olivia is such a good little traveler. She loves to pull the suitcase so... Uncle Blake & Aunt Kerri got her a Dora suitcase of her own to pull. She had so much pulling it around.

When she gets tired of walking she climbs on our carry on bag and rides through the airport. Who needs a stoller! LOL We got several comments and smiles as we walked through the airport with Olivia riding our luggage!

Grandma & Grandpa Hardy's Home

We stayed at Grandma & Grandpa Hardy's home from July 3rd through the 8th. We had lots of fun doing tractor rides, ATV rides and playing several rounds of H.O.R.S.E. on the basketball court!

Grandma and Grandpa were nice enough to babysit so we could have an evening out with our friends!

4TH OF JULY 2008

We had a very nice 4th of July in Bronson. We went to the parade in the morning where Olivia had a good time running after candy. After nap time we went back into town for dinner and to watch the fireworks. For a small town Bronson puts on an excellent firework show!

The Band Shell @ Grandview Park: Sx City, IA

Mark's family has a tradition of going to the band shell at Grandview Park and taking family pictures every time all the siblings get back to Sioux City at the same time.
