I took my students to a nearby nursing home.  We taught the residents how to play King's Corner.  It was a neat morning.

My Grandma's Funeral

My Grandma Dorothy, my mom's mother, died September 5th in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She lived to be 88!  Her funeral was a few weeks later in Iowa, so that her brother could attend the funeral.  

Pierce was sitting all by himself in front of a gravestone

The cousins that were able to attend

(It's been 10 years since we were together.)

After the funeral, we drove two hours to bury her remains with my grandpa's.

We had a wonderful time that evening hanging out at the hotel, playing games and laughing.

State Fair

first time using the shuttle service

The kids loved the bus

We did a ride wristband for the boys for the first time.  The hardest part was deciding what to do next.
