Dropping in at Oaks Park

It doesn't look the same












The archway into Oaks Park has been taken down. I don't know if it's down for renovation of if it's going to be gone permanently but It doesn't look the same without it.
Meeting up some friends






Cameron was meeting some friends from school today down at Oaks Park. After I dropped him off I called Har and asked if he wanted to bike down there when he got off of work. He did!


I walked around taking pictures of flowers and stuff and when Harlan showed up, we saw a familiar face in the passenger seat of a van going by.
Some of Har's nieces showed up


The person in the passenger seat of that van was Harlan's niece, Kristen, from Texas! She and her kids joined her sisters and their families for their annual trek to Oaks Park. As Har posed for a picture with Bethany, Kristen and Wendy, Bethany's husband, Brian was taking pictures too. It was so nice to see all of them! We got to visit further when we came back to pick Cam up.



 We are related to every one of the people on this train. One niece and many grand-nieces and grand-nephews.





Cam was on this Scrambler ride with a couple buddies and just behind him were three of our grand-nephews, one of which is waving at my camera. Hi Braden!

More family times
 Our grand-nephew, Sebastian, spent a few nights at our place hanging out with the boys. We brought him home this morning.













We got to see his little brother, Cooper and their dog, Champ. 


Cooper is a little younger than Garrett but just as busy.  


We also got to see our nephew, Quentin and he, Har and Hayden stood around and chatted with their hands in their pockets as guys are prone to do. 

Especially Hilman guys :)

I'm happy that we got to see all of these family members this week. I also got to FaceTime with Joylynn and her kids this morning and Skype with Cherise and hers this afternoon.
I love being part of a big family!
