Tour the Midwest Part 2: Family

One of the hardest things about living in California is being away from our immediate family. We are so lucky to be able to travel and see everyone a couple times a year. We really look forward to our trip in the summer though. We call it Tour of the Midwest because we enjoy touring to see everyone and it involves a lot of stops. Stops in Grenville, stops in Fort Wayne, Stops in Indy, stops in Jackson and Spring Arbor, Stops in old friends homes, stops in favorite restaurants, stops in old shops, stops in both grandpa's offices, and more. We really appreciate everyone stopping by to see us also. It means a lot to us that people go out of their way to come see us and stop by even if it is just for a short while. It fuels our hearts and our ministry knowing that people care about us and pray for us. We are just so blessed to have family drive in from Florida, New York, Missouri, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Indiana. Thanks to everyone for your love!

Thanks especially to Grandma and Grandpa Knight and Grandma and Grandpa Olson for hosting everyone. You are all so gracious! We were really able to relax, take breaks and enjoy the company of everyone because of you! Thank for everything you guys do for us!

Grandpa Olson thanks for spending so much time with the kids in the pool and taking them for long bike rides. Thanks for wearing them out for us.

Grandpa Knight thanks for taking Tyler on long morning scooter rides. They will be were very memorable.

Grandma Olson thank you for always taking care of everyone, for helping with all the kids, for driving us all over, for making gourmet meals, and making it feel like home for us all.

Grandma Knight thanks for making Tyler feel extra special. He loved his room and all the new toys. Thanks for your hospitality to us and our friends.

All the cousins together. They sure had a blast, swimming, biking, swinging, having meals together, even sleeping in the same room together one night. They got up extra early that morning, but it was fun for them.

Ang has cubby little legs we had to capture:)

Our baby girl:)

Great Grandma Olson got them matching swim suits
