virden

Off to Virden we went this weekend - the reason: Great Grandpa Nelson is 90 years old and celebration was in order. Here is the man of the hour. Grandpa is incredible. He farmed until he was 70 and is still strong, with it, and happy.


We played several rounds of "What Time is it Mr. Fox?". Always a sure winner with kids and grown-ups who like to act like kids.



We FINALLY launched our model rocket (twice actually). It was very cool. I didn't get a photo of the actual launch since the launcher needed my camera batteries. In the background you can see the Virden Cemetery, a rather desolate, but pretty cool place.



Great Grandma and Grandpa and some of the girls watching the program. Note: it is not a trip to Virden without a program. This one was a lot of fun with silly and not so silly stories about Grandpa's life. Apparently, pyro-technics is a family trait.


Grammy and her cousin Spencer (that would be Elder Spencer V. Jones to you - the world's nicest man and proof that G.A.'s are normal) singing a very silly song that Great Grandma used to make them sing at the programs of their youth.


It was a really great trip and the kids had so much fun playing with their second cousins and cousin Ally, running free and doing all the stuff Grammy had for them to do inbetween.
