My blogs have morphed into a once a month blog! Oh well, I'm trying to get back on track!!!
Our trip to Oshkosh was again so much fun! We stayed in a home this year right by the lake and made great new friends with Patty and Bill. They had a beautiful home and treated us like family. Bruce volunteered 2 afternoons so I got to spend some time looking around and hanging out under the wing of an airplane each afternoon watching the airshow. My favorite part of Oshkosh is always the Warbirds reenactment and frankly, just watching them fly!!! So much history in the sky to witness - it's a little daunting to take it all in..... Someday soon, I hope Eric and Theresa will get to take their family to enjoy it.
I once again got my pictures out of order, but it's okay, at least I got the blog up....Shawn and Carrie never told the kids we were coming after Oshkosh - so it was a big surprise when they came to the airport and voila - there we were in the 182.
Kolsen with his surprise smile!! :)
Kaylee just couldn't quit giggling~
Karolyn couldn't quit grinning!
and well DeeDee, just kept hugging....Papa that is!
The clan jumping out of the van - SURPRISE!
Oshkosh Air Show (warned you pics were out of order!)One of the new air programs this year was this powered glider with a jet engine. I couldn't get over how graceful and beautiful it was in the air!
They always start the show with parachute jumpers who honor all the veterans.
One of the DC-3's (they had a total of 21 flying at once this year)!
I'm not sure which warbirds these were, but they were certainly LOUD!
Every evening Papa and I would go to the lake - and soak our tired feet or just take in the beautiful landscape and watch airplanes fly over our head. We got in the habit of going to a drive-in where the girls roller skated out to us and got our order!!! FUN, Fun...Meanwhile, back at the Papon house....
Carrie took us out to the Hospice House where they all love to volunteer, so we all made trail mix, chocolate chip cookie bars, and fresh green beans they were to have for supper. K-Girl is busy making her trail mix. We got a wonderful tour of the Hospice House and it is so beautiful and peaceful there.
All of us in the kitchen after pulling out the cookie bars from the oven.
The girls love to cook, we are making Princess Wands with Mommy. Yum, yum.
Their recipe Princess book. :)
and then, we went fishing and swimming at a lake. The lake was very cold!!! The kids didn't seem to care at all.
The Papon boys fishing in the honey hole.
Dee Dee has no fear and was constantly in the water up to her neck!!!!!!
My fishing buddies....

Thanks for sharing the pictures! We had a wonderful time with you guys. I can't believe that I didn't peep the secret before you arrived.
I miss watching the war birds, that was always my favorite part of the show too!
