All 4 in one picture?

I thought it would be nice to get a picture of all 4 grandkids together - I got one at Easter time, and haven't gotten one since. So I lined them all up on the couch at Ali's the other day....Hannah has an old cell phone in this picture....

Ethan and Alex got a little silly....

So did Guelly....

Then the fight broke out over the old cell phone....

This was the best picture I got. Maybe another day.

Defiance County Fair

The Defiance County Fair is officially over for another year. Had some rain and lots of cool weather. On Sunday, Ethan and Miguel both agreed to participate in the kiddie tractor pull.

Here is Ethan getting ready for his pull.Come on Ethan!

Miguel on the tractor - in front of all those people!Putting some muscle into it.

Alex tried on Grandpa's straw hat for some entertainment.

Hannah was more adventurous. She tried climbing the fencing on the back of the bleachers, with Grandpa's help.

Vacation

Sorry it has been so long since I did an update. Here are pictures from our vacation back in July. We visited ethanol plants that we have invested in that are located in Galva, Illinois, West Burlington. Iowa and Garnett, Kansas. We only got to actually tour the facility in West Burlington, so that is where the inside type pictures are from. East Kansas Agri-Energy, Garnett, Kansas
Hard to see in the pictures, but this came from a rest stop. Those black things are cut outs of buffalo and Indians on horseback. They really did look impressive.
