Picnic with Friends

We had a fun time at the park and having a picnic with friends tonight. We wish summer never had to end. We love having picnics, going to the park, bike riding, and visiting friends.

Telgenhoff Reunion

Ailee's Birthday
Aunt Mary

We had a nice road trip up to Grayling, Michigan for the Telgenhoff Family Reunion. There was delicious food, tractor rides, swimming, games, and great visiting with family. Thank you Aunt Carol and Uncle Fred for hosting it. Sometimes black bears like to visit the house, fortunately none showed up for the reunion. :)

Binder Park Zoo in Kalamazoo

Giraffe up close. Their tongues are black. Interesting.

Jinnae and Billy (Goat)

We had a great time at Binder Park Zoo today with the Andreaes' family. Jinnae especially enjoyed feeding the giraffes. Rick's favorite was the snow leopard and my (Vicki's) favorite was the bulls. Their horns were huge! God's creation is amazing.

Bike Ride with Friends

Jinnae and I went on a bike ride with my good friend, Jen and her son, Quint. We rode seven miles in the misty rain. It was fun!

Sunshine in Saugatuck

Rick surprised Jinnae and I by taking us to Saugatuck for a day. We enjoyed seeing the lake, shopping, eating lunch at Hercules Hotdogs (even though Jinnae and I got an omelet instead), shopping more, and getting an ice-cream cone for dessert. Thanks for the great family day, Rick. We loved it.

Zoo Time!

We think Jinnae and Quint loved eating more than seeing the animals. :)

"Uh-oh, he just went to the bathroom."

Jen and Quint

Jinnae says, "I'm out of here."

Jinnae and I had a great time at the zoo on Saturday with my good friend, Jen, and her son, Quint. Jen and I teach together. Friday was our last day of school for this year and we were ready to celebrate with our children Saturday morning. It was a beautiful day and we loved every minute of it.

Memorial Day Weekend 2009

The big boys wanted to play the Olympic games too. They used up all the water balloons so the big girls couldn't play or at least not participate in that part. Oh well!
Jinnae loves water balloons

Rick

We remembered this weekend those who fought and gave their lives for us in the United States. We are thankful. We also had good times with family and friends. We participated in the "Rick Olympics", saw Grandpa Gerst preach, had a picnic with family and friends, and enjoyed a movie. We are thankful for our many blessings and freedoms.
