Labor Day Weekend


Labor Day weekend we had the opportunity to spend time with my family. We traveled up to Star Valley, Wyoming to visit the Combe cabin. Parker did really well getting to know the family again. He was in a deep conversation with his uncle Brady. They had a good long talk.


This was the first photo we took of the three grandkids born in the same year. Kaylee on the far right was born first, then Parker a couple of weeks later. The cute chunk, Logan, in the middle was born about five months later. Crazy that they are all about the same size. Parker was having a rough couple of minutes, he did not want to be on the couch.

The next few photos show an activity that we got to do with two of my sisters and their husbands . Shooting a gun was an experience, let's just say I was a bit nervous and broke a couple of main rules. We were so determined to go shooting that we went in the very chilly rain. As you can see Willie got a little wet.
I shot my sisters 22 and never did dare to shoot her husbands 45. I think in my life I will just trust that nothing bad will happen. :)

























We don't have pictures of Willies favorite activity, but he finally got to go golfing over this great vacation. Parker got sick just before we left the cabin, thankfully he recovered before we flew home. We suggest that a midnight flight not be used if you plan to sleep. We had loads of fun with the family and we loved seeing them all. We had a lot of entertainment from the grandkids. As usual we had a lot of food to eat, this seems to be tradition if we go to the cabin. We are very grateful that we got the opportunity to go back to see my family. We miss them so much, and Willie's family too, of course. One adventure we took during the vacation was something we hadn't done for a very long time but it is a requirement when going to the cabin, it's golf ball hunting. Basically we don't like to buy golf balls and there are a few places where people loose a lot of golf balls, so we went hunting and came back with a bag full. We hope to make the journey to the cabin again soon. We love the memories that are made there.
