Highlights of our Summer Home

A few of our fun times we had this summer....fyi the pics are mostly of Orrin...it's more fun to take pictures of him than of us I guess :)

Orrin loved getting "airplane" rides in the laundry basket :)

Eating out at the Piggy Bank restraunt in Oakville with Gpa and Gma Gerst.

Ok, eating out in general was fun :)

Labor Day Weekend camping with Dad and Mom Z and family.  Sadly, it was just a little too wet sometimes.....

SPOILED!  Orrin eating Oreos...I mean the filling of the Oreo.....

Homecoming Parade in Wapello.  Can't believe the kids who are the King and Queen candidates are the same ones that I helped out with in their Second Grade Class when I was in High School! Getting old......

Orrin and I were in Forrest at our old house one afternoon when the ice cream truck came with it's jangly tune playing.  Couldn't resist one of those good old fashioned American experiences!!

Orrin took part in a few library programs this summer!  What fun!  And he got showered with prizes from the Morning Sun Library!

Orrin and Carter eating together one evening when we were at Troy and Leann's.

Grandpa giving Orrin a ride on the skid steer.

Building a house out of couch cushions!

So much corn on the cob!!!

Stopped in at Superior Ambulance and MedForce to say hi one day.  Someone got to sit in the helicopter and thought it was pretty neat!

Time with the cousins....I thought this was a priceless pic :)  Will, Orrin and Drew did not get along so great all the time....Orrin was kind of a bully and liked to push.  I even heard him whispering it early one morning.  "Push....baby....Drew..."

Orrin pushing a kid-sized cart at a store in Morris, while we were visiting Great Gma Luthi.

Orrin's first combine ride!  We rode with U Wayne and then in the tractor with Tory.  Now Orrin knows exactly what equipment he needs to "farm" with his toy tractors.  And it even has made for some meltdowns when he didn't have a wagon to go with his tractor and combine.....

Orrin got to go to Bass Pro Shop this summer with Gpa and Gma Z while dad and mom were on vacation.  Such fun for him!
