More from Memorial Day

These are my cousins Amelia and Gabe. They are visiting the States for a while, taking a break from the concrete village of China. They spent what seemed to be hours feeding Sam and Emily's horses, but they were having fun, the horse were happy, so it was all good!

This is Sam and Emily's dog. Nic and I could have had one of its siblings, but noooo...it was not a hunting dog...! Nic admitted that they were cute and we should have gotten one. Sshhh, don't tell Maia!

Trampoline fun. Oh what fun - especially after a few drinks.

Remember those bunnies I told you about? This is one of the fortunate five that made it out of the massive fire in the last photo. Thank goodness Maddie did not want to take the little fella home. I wonder how they are doing... (one of the families at the party were going to try to nurse them into toddlerhood, or at least that's what they told us!)

My cousin Jake. He is awesome and agreed to run a 25K in September with us!

Uncle Sam and Aunty Em's Party

So, wouldn't you know that after we finished our half marathon, we got in the car and drove to Luck, WI for Uncle Sam and Aunty Em's Memorial Day party. By the looks of this photos - who would even know that Maddie and I just got done running the half? More soon on the party - too many fun things to write about...!
