At the Lake

What's a vacation without a trip to the lake?

camping, swimming, boating .....

Great lookin' fins, David! 

A tower of tubes, and a pile full of cousins! 

And no day at the lake is complete without a nap -

Sweet dreams, Uncle Rodney! 

Someone's going skiing - but just look at that 

beautiful sky and puffy clouds!

Minnesota Vacation

A little more of the Centennial Celebration in Minnesota

I'm betting somewhere out there is a joke about men standing

around, watching one or two doing all the work!

  

Gramps on top of the hay!

Minnesota Vacation 1974

Another trip to Minnesota -  Summer 1974

If I remember, it was the Centennial Celebration  

Mom and I climbed up to look at this piece of farm machinery!

An old tractor ..... I think this celebration may have sparked

the beginnings of Heritage Days in EGF

I remember hearing many discussions trying to discern which is better:

John Deere or Massey Ferguson?

Clara looking lovely in her bonnet ... 

can't you almost hear the Sons of the Pioneers

crooning out the old tune "Put on your old grey bonnet,

with the blue ribbons on it"....
