I Went to a Garden Party...

Here we are at Dawn Cowan's house in Wasilla who is a Master Gardener. Her yard is in full bloom and we had a lovely brunch outdoors. The kids all had such a good time., Who needs to go to the Palmer Fair when you have a inflatable house, swingset, swimming pool, all in your backyard? It's a child's wonderland.

More wonderful grandchildren pictures as well as children pictures of the Alaskan vacation. We had a blast. The large group picture is one of the entire wedding party at Peter's Creek rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.

More Pre-Wedding Photos

Here are some more pictures of when the whole gang arrived. The last picture is of Carsten holding Greta, Emme, Levi and then Finn. We had a fire almost every other night in our backyard after cooking out. We so enjoyed every bit of time with our loved ones. Sometimes, it was a bit of a challenge to keep the home running smoothly with meals, transportation, and sippee cups separated. We all have great memories of time spent with family and, course, the reason for coming to Alaska was for Bernie and Angie's wedding. It was awesome! God is to be praised!

Family Photos of pre and post Wedding of Bernie and Angie

Here are some photos of our beautiful grandcherubs the week before the wedding. Adam, Natalie and Greta got to Anchorage first. Adam was "the man" who built our sturdy wooden swingset to keep the kids having fun. He had Kyle and Bernie Jr. as his assistants and Big Bernie to help him move it into place. Here are Greta and Finn getting to know one another. Don't let Greta's size fool you. She can definitely hold her own.
