Logging Congress '12


We went to the Logging Congress this year over in Oshkosh.  It was a fun little trip.  Jake & Emily ended up leaving earlier in the day with Grandpa & Grandma.  Joe worked for 1/2 a day and then the rest of us loaded up and met them over there.  The kids had a lot of fun checking out the machinery.  And walking through the vendors building and collecting candy and samples--pencils, notepads, balloons, even a couple hats.  We walked around for a few hours and then headed to our hotel for some fun swimming. 
The kiddies when we arrived that afternoon.  Right away, they each got a balloon, which we tied to their wrists
Checking out the tires


Making sure his balloon was still following him ;-)

A cute load
James messed with his balloon and finally it lost its air.  Jake was ready to give his up so he attached his to James' deflated, non-helium balloon
So James ended up with these 2 balloons =)
This stroller was a handy catchall, but little boy didn't want anything to do with it--I guess those years are past!  He did have fun pushing it around tho.

I think I have commented on this before, but not these exact pictures. What a fun time it would have been , the kids look so happy and cute, of course. Sounds like Ben and Linda did too, I suppose dad and mom did too.
Can't wait to see you all.
