Port Washington

All the girls on Port Washington. (Samantha, Beth,Mary Kay, Kirra and Katie)
Port Washington Harbor. We went for a drive and ended up in Port Washington. Beth and I have never be here before. It was really cool because Grandpa work at the power plant there right off the harbor. All I have to saw it was really cold and windy.

Church


Here are just some pictures of the church where the services were hold for both of my grandparents. Eli thought the church was cool because of how old the church is. Not something you so all the time in Colorado.

She was running.



Will everyone else was eating dinner at my cousins Mary Kay's house Samantha was running up and down the hill behind their house. I can not even tell you how many times I looked outside and saw her run up and down the hill. She would stop to eat her hot dog and then off she went. She loved that hill.

Eating dinner in Wisconsin.


Samantha and Kirra having a blast with family eating dinner. Kirra was having her first cup of coffee. Just kidding there was water in there. By the end of dinner she could have entered into a wet t-shirt contest and she would have won. Her shirt was so wet it took two days in the car to dry before I saw it and took it out to wash it.

Rest stop.




Samantha and Kirra playing a play ground that my sister and I played at on are way to see grandma and grandpa. They had so much fun there it was get to see them smile after the long car ride. This play ground was in Amana, Iowa.


Road trip to Wisconsin.

The girls sleeping on the way to Wisconsin before even left the state.
Samantha waiting her turn.

Kirra not waiting her turn she just took the bag from Auntie Beth. She was sleepy in this picture. OK So here is the story of the road trip. Wednesday afternoon my Grandpa passed away in Wisconsin. My brother told us Wednesday night. So Thursday morning we all get up really early and drove the Wisconsin for the funeral. My sister came with us so she sat in the back seat with the girls. We drove for two days to get there on Friday. The funeral was on Saturday at 1:00pm. This is the third funeral Samantha has been to. I asked myself how do you tell a three year old we they have to sit in a car seat for two days all day. I had to think about that one but after a little bit. I told Samantha that Nona really need to see her and her sister because her daddy was in heaven with Kayla. I told her that Kayla had a new friend to play with and we had to go as Kayla could see us when she came to meet my Grandpa in heaven. She told me that she was happy that Kayla had a new fiend to play with. She said that she wanted to tell Nona the her daddy would be OK because he had Kayla to play with but she forget. I told my mother that and that made her happy. My grandpa was 95 years young. His wife passed away 12 years ago and he was so lonely with out her. My mother said that he was happy now because he was with her. I know that he is happy now that he is in heaven but I really do miss him. I never made it back to see him but he did come out here a few times. I am so glad that all the time I get to send with him in my 30 years. I just need to remember him the way he was. Just be happy for the good times and not sad for this sad time.


Swimming time.

I was off on Tuesday I thought it was warm outside so the get out the girls play that they get from Santa and filled it with water. I that it sit for about an hour or so. But the water never really did get warm. Samantha wanted to play in it with so bad that I put both girls in their suits and we want outside. Remember I said I thought the water was warm will I was wrong the water was still cold but Samantha did not care she played it the play she just never sit down. Kirra on the other hand wanted to get out of the pool. It was just to cold for her. They still had a good time play of the time they played.
