Hi Everyone,

I was a little time optimistic when I thought I'd get everything done last week. 

Vacation 2005

We took off for St. Louis on Wednesday, July 27th.  Logan was very excited about riding on a plane.  Both kids did great!  They both watched videos and listened to them through their headphones.  They also both fell asleep about a half-hour before landing.

Anita picked us up at the airport.  It was 76 degrees outside - what a great way to start a vacation!  The next day, Uncle Chris and Uncle Mike were there and took the kids into the water.  They were both a bit apprehensive at first, but the more they swam, the more comfortable they became in the water.

Then everyone came into town for Carl's 90th birthday celebration.  It was a fun weekend of the family getting together, talking, swimming, and having a great time together.

Mary, a friend of the family, took some great pictures of the family one evening:

Then we were off to Atkins to see my parents and sister, Karen.  The trip turned out to be a little long for the kids, but once they got there, they had a lot of fun.  My Aunt Kay and Uncle Vernon came down to see us on Tuesday and on Wednesday we took the kids to Old McDonald's farm and out to eat with Uncle Bill and Emily.

Then it was back to Potosi for a little rest and a lot of swimming before getting back on the plane and heading for home.

A great time had by all!  Thanks everyone for making our vacation such a good one!

Love, Rich, Lisa, Logan & Hannah

Hi All,

We got back from vacation yesterday - what a great time.  I'll write more about it later.  I'm going through the 1,500 pictures I took when we were gone (got a new camera and went a little crazy!).  In the meantime, here are a few teasers...

I hope to be posting vacation pictures sometime this week. 

Love, Rich, Lisa, Logan & Hannah
