Graduation and Baptisms

This weekend has been busy.  Saturday, Laura Deluge, Skyler's girl friend, had her high school graduation party.  We came to represent the Wilson family since Sky's parents were out of town.

Then on Sunday, Gen and Vivi were baptized at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in St. Cloud.  We joined many of Anne's family for the service and lunch afterwards.

We also square danced both Saturday afternoon in Fair Haven and then in the evening at a barn dance in Greenfield.

The rest of the story

We spent five weeks away from home for the entire month of May and a few days in April too.  We already posted the shutterfly book of the thirteen days in Hawaii.  Here is a book about the rest of the trip.
We visited many friends and family members.  That is the highlight of the trip for us.  Reconnecting and even meeting new people brings us real joy.
Of course the natural beauty of the mountains and ocean also fill us with awe for what God has created.
Here is the web site for our Washington Oregon shutterfly book.  If you don't have a shutterfly account, you will have to get one.  But it is free and looking at our book is free too.  Here is Mt. Hood.

You should be able to see it.  But you have to register for Shutterfly first.
You don't have to buy the book to see it.
You can have it be on a larger screen to see the pictures better.

We had a great time and want to share our photos with you.

Hawaiian Trip to celebrate 50th Anniversary

We arrived on Tuesday, got a car and drove to the North Shore.  Have to be careful not to get too much sun.  Visited the Polynesian cultural center on Wed.  There were 7 different villages.  We will return on Friday to see the ones we missed.  We rested in the car for awhile before the luau.  We were on stage when they asked about anniversary celebrations.  The couple across from us were newly weds 4 days!  Another woman took our picture with our camera.  The final event was a great show of polynesian dances.  Thursday we relaxed at the beaches.  We saw two green turtles just a few miles from here.
