Jonas, Vera and I went to Colorado in August. John couldn't come. We saw lots of family there. Carlie and Brayden flew in the same morning that we did. Vera and Brayden held hands for part of the way from the airport. Pop Pop Casey bought a necklace for Vera which she loves and MacKenzie gave her an old mini backpack that she wouldn't take off for the whole trip. We got to see Isaac, Joe, Dylan, and all of the Winklers. It was our first time seeing Dante who was only a few weeks old when we came. Before going home, Jonas and Vera made cookies with Nana Jana. We all had lots of fun visiting family and enjoying the view with mountains.
Jonas made John a birthday cake. He taped it to a box and wanted me to bring it to the table after dinner to trick John into thinking that was his "real" birthday cake. John just looked confused while Jonas sat there cracking up. Very funny. He did a great job making the cake. He cut it all out by himself and decorated it.
Uncle Steve and Aunt Nancy invited us to visit with them for the weekend in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Nancy's dad lives there on a farm. We had a great time. It is a beautiful part of Wisconsin. They took us to a farm with a petting zoo. There were baby goats and pigs and many other farm animals. The kids loved it. We also went to see Lake Michigan. Jonas had fun on the beach. He loved to copy Cody burying his hands and feet in the sand. Jonas also had fun shooting a beebee gun with Stevie. We were happy to visit with Courtney, who just moved from Alaska.
