Brandon's 15th Birthday

Here are a few pictures of Brandon's birthday party held at the camper. Nicole and I made his cake and it turned out well. Brandon got, money, Spanish dictionary(will need that this year), metal bike pedals,cleats and sneakers (for biking at the camper). On Friday night three boys slept out in the tent they played video games, thanks to "Uncle Jeff" for bringing the TV for them to use. Then Saturday night only two slept out Brandon and Colby. These two boys are inseparable, they are always on their bikes somewhere. They really are best friends!!

The cake!! Tony Hawk standing and a bike and jump. the blue bike is actually from the Grinch and it has training wheels on so Nicole just had to put that in.

Brandon had a great birthday and really enjoyed his weekend. Thanks to all who helped make it wonderful!!

Sunflower field

Here is a picture of Amish Country. Just thought this was a nice picture and since this is what we see every weekend we go to the camper, thought I would share it.

When we left Penns Cave there was a beautiful field FULL of sunflowers.

Pictures of the kids at Penns Cave

Here are a few pictures of Kalista, Brandon and Nicole. We found some nice places to take some good pictures.

Family Reunion

Here are pictures from the Zellers Reunion held at Penns Cave, Sunday, August 9th 2009. I think I got a picture of everyone that attended. It was a nice day and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We had LOTS of good food, a huge variety. Hopefully more will be able to attend next year.

Everyone was enjoying conversations with people you only get to see

once a year. If you are lucky you see some at Grange Fair.

I know my kids were wondering where all the kids were????

I think the only kids there were, Brandon, Nicole and Kalista.

Mark did a great job entertaining Brandon and Nicole.

Few Weekends Ago.............

We got to take Kalista with us to the camper and we had a great time! She went fishing and caught 2 sunnys and a cat fish. It is all catch and release but she had fun. They held a golf cart rodeo and she drove in that too. She only ran over one barrel, which isn't bad for never driving before. Hey at least it wasn't a person. The best part was she had a good time!!

This is the same weekend Brandon got his new Haro bike!! He has been mowing all summer and saved his money for this treasure. When Brandon is at the camp ground he is always on his bike until dusk. This bike per Brandon is lighter and he can jump better. He is really proud of his new bike.

Here is Nicole in her band front uniform. She looks like a natural, so beautiful! I will post more later but had to share this!
