One day this summer we took a day trip to the cemetery where my dad's grandparents are buried.
My great-grandfather was a buggy maker. The town is known for its history in buggy making and they have a buggy festival every year.
Kind of neat to see the church where they attended. My dad said he guessed that his father went here growing up.
Madeline is our writer and she likes to keep notes on family history.
Myles found some artificial flowers and was "planting" a garden. :o)
Sweet to see my dad standing next to his grandpa's grave. He has lived longer than all of his family, my mom and her family, and most of his friends. I often think about how lonely that must seem sometimes. There is just something comforting to have someone that shares a history with you.
It was really neat reading this sign that talked about the history of the church which was founded by the Pilgrims!
Standing with my dad and my oldest sister. She recently joined Ancestry.com and has really become fascinated with our family history.
Six of his sixteen grandchildren.
Later that day we headed back to our house and the girls saddled up the horses.
Cooking hotdogs on the fire pit.
Malachi and Grandpa
He loves his family!
"Your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed". Genesis 24:18
Until next time~
