Vacation!

Last week our family took a week long vacation back to Michigan. Here are a few photos of the events of our trip.

On the road...

We made a brief visit to see some friends in Pennsylvania...and of course we had to stop at Cabelas in West Virginia...

The botanical gardens at the Creation Museum were beautiful...

The Garden of Eden in the Creation Museum...

We took a break in the Palm Cafe...

A Zorse (Zebra/horse cross) and Zonkey (Zebra/Donkey cross) at the Creation Museum's petting zoo.

Grandpa and Grandma Telfer's farm...

The wheat field was ready for harvest...

Grandpa and Grandma Iocco...we went to a place called Grand Oak Herb farm with them.
(Dad built the arbor for Grand Oak a long time ago when we lived in Michigan).

Helping Grandpa Telfer put up an electric fence around his garden...He had been having deer trouble.

Surprise birthday party for Dad...

We got to see a lot of our old friends...we had a great time!

Grandpa and me.

It was a great trip. We got back to rainy Vermont around 8:00p.m. on Tuesday the 25th.

Hey Ben!

I LOVE the photo of the wheat field... seriously... love it.

I wish I could have been with you guys when you visited Michigan. Ah, another day, right? :)

Was your dad giving a speech at his birthday party? It looks like he's standing up on the picnic table. :)

Great photos- good to see you had a nice trip!

The wheat was ripe and ready to be harvested. It was beautiful. We don't get to see much wheat out here. It's to rocky.

Wish you could have been there too...yes another time perhaps ;)

Dad was giving a speech. We pulled of the surprise without him knowing anything. It was lots of fun!

I hope you are feeling better and returning to good health. We have been praying for you.

Take care, dear cousin!
