Wow! What an amazing weekend. It was great to have Casey back early on Thursday. We ventured to Omaha and bought a new minivan - Pontiac Montana. The boys LOVE it. In fact, last night I moved the car seats back to the car. No sense in driving it around until we actually need it (aka when the baby comes). The boys were devastated that we weren't going to be riding in the van. I told them we could ride in it when we go to Grandma's house and when the baby comes. Patton decided to put those together and said,
"Mom, I have a great idea, we can take it to grandma's house so that we can show them the baby." That was a great idea Patton:)
We were able to spend a great Saturday at the Elge's. It is always a great time to relax, talk, and watch the boys play play play on everything and everywhere on the farm. They were a bit disappointed when traveling to the "real" farm that they didn't have horses any more.
After spending a day in Aurora, we traveled to Grand Island to a hotel with 47 other Wiedels for my grandparent's 50th Wedding Anniversary. It was such a blessing to be able to go to a hotel rather than cram us all in a house. Even though that has never stopped us getting together, I am voting for an activity like the hotel fun times again. Some of the clan went to the Martina McBride concert at the fair, while some of us watching littler ones swim and play a crazy dice game. The game consisted of 6 kids standing in a corner each with a number assignment. When their number was rolled, the one kid came out of their corner danced for 10 seconds tops, we clapped and they went back to their corner to wait for their number to be called. Yes it sounds crazy, but we were able to play this game for an hour without any difficulties....crazy! Casey also did a kids PE class. It was funny to see all of them lined up like in the military and following his commands.
I will have to get a picture up of all of us. There were 47 of us, 7 were missing and 5 are on the way. We will need a bigger place to house all of us at once.

Why is it that families just don't get together as much as they should? I think that all the time. Schedules and life just interupt the fun stuff, don't they?
