And we're off!
Every other year we hit the friendly skies for a trip to Wisconsin to visit Jim's family. But first a few crazy pictures at the Durango airport.
A snowboard in the airport? Makes for entertainment while waiting for your flight
Standing next to an "Idea" balloon, I said "Sometimes... I randomly start to think."
Jim and Stown agreed that perhaps I shouldn't. Ha! Joke-sters!
Wow! Look at this Motley Crew!
Jim (on the far right) and all his cousins.
Once in Wisconsin, they entire family gets together for a reunion. Food and beer and catching up on stories makes for a great afternoon. However, to the teenagers this can be a bore, so they split out and found the local quarry.....
Nothing can be as much fun to a teen age boy as jumping off the rocks to impress the chicks!
GO STOWN!!
Great Aunt Anita & Jim
The next day we spent to afternoon visiting with Jim's Great Aunt Anita. She's 91 (92 this Fall)!!
She told us wonderful stories about hitching rides in a horse drawn carriage to get to church in the winter, the different farms she lived on in her lifetime and shared beautiful photo albums she had been working on chronicling the family history for her sons. I can't believe how well she gets around. She still has friend over every Monday for cards! Sharp as a tack, it was such a gift to hear her stories.
Just part one of our trip, stay tuned for more to come!!
As you may have noticed, I am still having issues with the set up, why won't it upload a vertical photo vertically? Why can't I rotate it once it's uploaded? Is anyone else having these problems? Any help would be appreciated. I guess for now if I plan on taking a "blog specific" picture I will have to remember to take it horizontally.
