OFS part 1

Old Fashioned Summer 2018 started on August 1st. The kids and I flew out early! 

the addition of the kindles were so very helpful for flying. 

the best thing about flying between spokane and minneapolis - 2.5 hours of flying and we are door to door in 5 hours. kids were SO excited! 

instant OFS - root beer floats and chippies. 

sporting the new sweatshirt! 

Jane warming up...

just had to snap some photos of the scene - this is what it looks like before you walk down to the beach. 

little hazy, but kids were so happy to be on the beach it didn't matter.

Janie warming up to Charlie. 

Ellie and Bubba. 

Lynnie and Janie. 

 

Bubba had lots of good ideas and crafts and we didn 90% of them in the first 6 hours of OFS. One was Fairy Gardens. 

they turned out so cute. 

Charlie had a bathroom emergency while in a wetsuit. 

Janie fully warmed up. 

next craft is putting pins and patches on jean jackets. 

Ellie made her own earrings. 

first night of OFS was a SUCCESS!!

movie before bed! 

first selma's trip! 

bathtime for girls. 

Bill arrived late Thursday night and Friday most of the family had to go to the rehearsal dinner for Katie's wedding on Friday. We had our good friends the Gundersons over for the afternoon. It was a great time to reconnect! 

Bill and Ryan - friends since high school and roommates in college (where I met Ryan).

 We had twin girls about 7 months apart  - it has been fun to watch the girls connect over the years. Charlie, Eleanore, Elise, Claire, Eva.

Ryan, Katie - me and Bill. 

OFS never lets us down...
