LeMars...via Battle Creek & Odebolt

Saturday morning we headed out to Battle Creek to meet up with Lola, Seth, Jenney, and Grandma Dorothy. We were able to spend some time together and catch up with everything that's been going on in our lives before we had to drive to Odebolt to attend Abbey's cousin Jason's wedding.


The girls enjoyed getting "piggy-back" rides from Uncle Seth and "Riding the Pony" with Gramma Lola!



Olivia even had time to help Uncle Seth take a nap.





The girls loved wearing their dresses and playing with Gramma-Great's pretty flowers!!





The girls had fun at the wedding for the most part. Sylvia had a few melt-downs, but she survived (and so did we!)



It was nice to see family that we haven't had a chance to see in quite a while.


Say cheese Great-Grandma Dorothy!


Sylvia was NOT happy to be taking a picture with me!


What a cute couple!
After the reception we were on the road again, destination: LeMars.



While in LeMars we enjoyed some relaxation time...


...and a visit to the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor for some delicious Well's ice cream! Yum!


Jenney also had the opportunity to become a true "LeMartian" by eating her first "Bob's hotdog!" She was even brave enough to have a tavern too! (That's a loosemeat for all of you non-northwest Iowa folks!)


Here the girls pose in their moose shirts that Gramma Lola brought back from her trip to Alaska!


Congratulations again to Jason and Jill on your wedding. We wish you many blessings as you begin your new life together with Christ.

"Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:

If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!

Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?

Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken"
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
