On June 28th we said goodbye to our Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins and headed back to Chadron with our Grandparents. It took two days to get to Chadron. We took a few days to recuperate. We visited our Great Grandma Thompson at the rest home. After the few days of recuperation, we headed back home. Caleb had a Boyscout camp to go to in Oregon, so Dad and Caleb flew home early from Warrensburge . Caleb was excited because that was his first time flying in an airplane.

While we were at our cousin's house, one of their goats had a baby. She name is Shashana.

Our Vacation continued

After our visit to Omaha, we went to Warrensburge, Missouri and visited our cousins from mom's side of the family. We arrived at the beginning of the weekend. Elizabeth, Rebekah, and I (Bethany) concentrated on making a cake for our Grandparents' 50th anniversary. We had the anniversary at my Aunt Kristen's parent's home which is an hour away.

Our Vacation

Hello everyone!
Sorry it has been a while since I or Caleb posted. Where do I start? We had a blast on vacation seeing friends and family. We first traveled to Chadron and visited Grandpa and Grandma Hafthide. Then we went to Hastings, NE and visited the Stoegers. After that we went to Omaha and visited lots of friends.

We went to Father and Son softball.

Then the Pena family, Nelson family, Alathie Larson, Mrs. Waldo and Rose went with us to the zoo. It was fun to see everything again and to visit with those who went with us. :)
