Before taking us to the airport to catch our flight to London

our dear friends invited us to walk to the nearby

cemetery to see the grave of their daughter, Dorene.

We felt honored to be included in their weekly time to

visit this place and do a bit of cleaning around her

grave and tombstone.

London, England

We spent the last few days of our trip

in London, England. One of the best parts

of this time was meeting some distant relatives,

Mark and Ann Wyatt.

The rest of the time in London we went sight-

seeing.........so interesting!

In the background of this picture of Helmut is
the "Millenial Wheel". It is similar to a
ferris wheel...but it moves slowly so that
those going for a ride can enjoy a view of London
and it's many sights. We didn't go on that this
time...but hope to someday.

We enjoyed "The Original Tour" bus ride
all around London!

It is a BIG city full of history and it would take
more than a few day to see everything there.

Nana and Papa Camp - August 2010

Nana and Papa Camp has become a wonderful tradition!

It is for our grand-children age 5 and older. This year

we had 6 old enough to come and they were all

wonderful. I can't wait until next year to do it

again.

We (actually the kids) set up

two tents....one for the girls....

and one for the boys, of course. We spent 2 and a 1/2
days doing a variety of activities. I hope
they enjoyed their time together. Making memories
is fun, but so exhausting! Here are some of the things
that we did............

Meika and Papa are trying to escape the camping

adventure. They both eventually came outside

after watching some tv.

They all participated in a brief moment of
scripture study.

The girls made some really delicious banana bread!

The boys were assigned to dig the dutch oven
pit. But Mieka volunteered, co cute.

Meika admitted that she can't read?

What?! So, Papa helped her

with the worksheet on joy.

The kids did some service at GG and GP's.......

kind of. Next time I will pick the jobs for

them GG let them off soooooo easy.

The annual KFC dinner at the park followed by

a water fight. So funny!




Seven Peaks was a lot of fun, even in the rain.
Papa and Meika were "best buddies"
by the end of the day.

Saturday evening the girls we did some exploring in the

basement and

we found some of grandma Ollech's old gloves,

purses and hat box. What a find.

Grand-baby #13 - The Tie-Breaker! It's a Boy!

Kim and Erik are now the proud parents of 4 boys and

3 girls.....A real party is going on at their house and

it will be for several years.

Do we look like proud grand-parents?

His name is Beckham Lyon.

Hawaii - A Great Break!!

We enjoyed a wonderful week of sun, water

and our friends Rob and Joy Sanders.

Helmut and Rob are testing the water....

the girls watched from the beach.

The best part of this vacation was watching

Helmut and Rob act like a couple of goofy

teen-agers!

We went to the Cultural Polynesian Center...


This is a picture of us on the balcony of our room....once
again thanks to Molly we enjoyed first class
accomadations!

Rob and Joy - just like old times!
