Down South Weekend...

A little over 2 weeks ago we went "down south" for a family funeral...Jon's aunt Jane unexpectedly died in a farm accident. It was a sad reason to travel down south...but it was nice to visit with the Souhrada family again. Jane will be missed by everyone...but memories will live on forever in our hearts...
We had a lovely weekend of visiting with everyone...we have not seen any of Jon's family since we moved north over a year ago. One evening we all went to Jon's dad's house for a nice meal...prepared gluten-free so Elsie I could eat also! (what a treat to not have eat out of the cooler the entire time!) Elsie was able to play with her cousin again...and to meet some new little second cousins to play with! Hopefully we can get down a little more often to visit with everyone! We stayed at Grandma B. sister's house...Deb and her husband Jim. They were very welcoming to us...and they tried so hard with Elsie...but she wanted nothing do with either of them. I think the weekend was a little overwhelming to her...far to many new people!

I did sneak out to the corn field with Elsie for a few pictures...she proved to not be much of farm girl...she kept going on about the corn stalks being "dirty" and did not want to stand next to them!
I love the position of the sun in these pictures...


A little bit of a smile peeking out...It had been a very hot day with not much of a nap...so a little smile was a good thing!
An entire drive way filled with little rocks...could any girl be quite as happy!? Elsie is a rock collector...and wanted to pick up lots of rocks from the driveway...but we managed to leave with only 1 rock...
This picture is probably my favorite from the photo shoot...I love the strait driveway in the background with the corn field on the side...and the way Elsie is standing with her hand on her hip!
We ended the photo shoot with rocks in the sandals...Elsie picked out a few rocks and shoved them down the toes of her sandals! You have to wonder what kids are thinking when they do such crazy things...most people take rocks out of their shoes!
