Collin started doing many different poses that we have never seen. Here are just a few of his creations. I guess we need to send him to modeling school!

They did much better on the Genesee Belle!

...The rhythm of the train put the kids to sleep within minutes!!!

We were all excited about the train ride...

You can see the pride on Collin's face as Papa let him wear his Engineer hat!

We went into the local Barber shop in Crossroad's Village and Collin jumped right up into the chair. If the Barber wanted to cut his hair I think Collin would have let him. It is surprising because Kristina has done all of his hair cutting! As far as I know, he has never seen a barber's chair!

Collin walked into the old schoolhouse and sat down like he knew where he was. The teacher helped him plant some grass seed in a Dixie cup and he was able to decorate the cup with stickers and markers. He seemed to really be paying attention as the teacher spoke. Grandpa Lou was a great help!

Last weekend we went to Crossroads Village and Huckleberry Railroad and met Mom and Dad. Jason and Kristina took Collin, Nathan and myself (Bruce had a golf outing). Norman and Lou also came. We all had a great day - however, most of the pictures were of Collin. Nathan was just hanging out in the stroller!

After leaving Monroe, we went to Frankenmuth to see our granddaughter Makayla play softball. She plays 1st base and does a great job! Her team won the game 4 - 3. Way to go Kayla!!!

Final picture of our Monroe Trip!

I think Nathan is game for anything!

I was amazed when I saw my shadow! Check out Frank!

Kristina and Collin were up before the sun. Oh yea, Heather was too!

Dad and Scooter in the morning.

When it was time for Collin to go to bed in the tent he told him Mommy that he wanted to go camping. She said you are camping. He said, "No, I want to sleep in the camper." Mommy told him, "You are sleeping in a tent so you are really camping." He was so tired he fell asleep immediately!

Collins tastes his first S'more. After taking a couple of bites he said, "Grandma, I don't like S'mores." and thru it down. Of well - one of these days he will love them!

"Shouldn't we get outta here?"

Nathan has found the soft spot in Papa's heart with his "Happy" smile!

Lori - "Grammy" appears to be having a lot of fun at the waterpark in Kansas when she visited Bryan, Michelle and the kids in late June. As most of you know, Lori has taken ill and Deni is asking that we all say a prayer for her speedy recovery. If you would like to leave her a message, please post a comment on my blog. I will have her look at it when she is feeling better. My personal message to Lori is: Get well soon! We need you in our family! You are so loved!!!

Bryce was so happy when he came to visit. He went to play in the dirt where the flowers are now and looked at me wondering why I would take away his dirt to plant flowers! He did the same thing where the tomato plant is now. Bryce, we made a sandbox for you to play in!
