Family Weekend!



Well, we had our celebrations, we stayed up late, we slept in, we watched fireworks, we at too much food, but dang what a good time!

The weekend went to fast. I was able to see most of both sides of my family. Friday we were in Appleton for my Dad's side's annual 4th Celebration. It is an annual event that all the my dad's brothers organize. There are three of them. They switch off years. This year it was at Jim's. He has a nice house and is a great grillmaster. Good, good food. I had my first Brat of the season. YUM! It is always fun to catch up with all my relatives. I have such good ones! I am glad I have all of them and that fate brought us all together. What would have happened if my parents never met? That is scary to think about! I wouldn't be here either. YIKES!

Saturday we headed to Green Bay. I love that place. I would live there if I didn't have this whole other life in Provo. It is a great city. I love seeing Lambeau Field where the Packers play. I think I take a picture of it every time I see it. I am still in awe of it.

I had a lot of fun with my mom's side of the family in Green Bay. I love to see my Aunt Linda and Uncle Tom. They are always so good to me. Their grandchildren are precious. Little Thomas makes me laugh. He is just a cutie. I also like to see my cute little grandma, Rita. She is so funny and cute. It was fun to hang out with everybody. My uncle Danny was even visiting from Oklahoma. He likes to talk about religion and kinda grilled me about Mormonism last night. I was up for the challenge and it was not as scary as I thought it might be. He is pretty much a holy roller and used to be a minister, so it was interesting. Weird and interesting.

Tonight we are back in Rhinelander. I am tired. It is late. I get to fish tomorrow...what am I do writing to you guys?

Later!
