Weekend in Pender


Ben, Great Grandma "B" & Kate


The kids and Papa Suhr in the tractor, helping to pull the grain cart


Kate and Ben were loving it!!! What fun memories they will have from this. I used to love to ride in the tractors and combine when I was a child also........



This weekend we headed back to Pender for a visit. Kate and Ben had been counting down the days all week........it is so fun to see them get excited! We knew that Papa would be busy helping with harvest, but we managed to sneak out and ride with him in the tractor a few times. Nanny was a marvelous hostess as always and kept us entertained at home with multiple trips to jump on the trampoline, bowling games down the basement, endless bingo, card games - and quality time together. We had a nice visit with great grandma "B" yesterday over lunch, yummy pancakes at popo's this am, church and then headed back to Des Moines around 1:30.......whew! I hate that the time goes by so quickly while we are there, but once again, wonderful memories were made!!! Thanks again Mom & Dad for letting us "invade" for a few days......we love you both - can't wait to be home again over Christmas!! Nanny, next time, we have GOT to get some photos with you too!!!
