Playground Fun

Annemarie is on her way to visit friends in Austin today. Before she left we had some fun at the playground.

A Day with Family and celebrating Burke's First 1st Birthday party

Early morning, we went to Dylin's soccer game

Red Eye to TX - the Bollmans arrive after midnight

Kiss the wolf, Burke

Burke acquaints himself with some of Annemarie's toys

Burke loves strawberries

They just don't make these tables small enough for me

We had lunch with Taylor at school

Annemarie got a bee in her bonnet that our sewing project should be making a quilt for our bed. Here are the fabrics that made up the patchwork squares.

We had to move the furniture and roll up the carpet to lay out all the squares. As per our wont, we worked past midnight to get to this point.

Watch me walk, Grandma

Judging Field at ACU

Lovely campus. One can tell how strong the wind was blowing as the flags were totally unfurled

Sue takes time to pet Damaris' doggie

Cinderella did well

Riding around Abilene

Our first stop was Frontier Texas!, a state of the art museum about the American West

Next up was Fort Chadbourne.

After a box lunch, we took a hayride to get up close and personal with some buffalo

...and some Texas Longhorns

Fort Chadbourne

We had dinner at one of our member's home. Entertainment was provided by a very talented local high school orchestra
