Visiting folks

Our first full day in Indiana was a Sunday. We went to church and then headed out to my grandparents' farm. I always love going there to visit. Life is just simple there.
Great-grandma Shoaf and Charlotte. Charlotte is a big mama's girl and doesn't take to strangers holding her but she let Grandma hold her for a LONG time. What a good girl!
Trey and Grandpa. Grandpa was really funny that day and told lots of good stories. The best one was about a stone scraper made by Native Americans that he had. His house is full of arrow heads and the like that he has found in his fields over the years. Well an elderly gentleman offered him $1000 for this particular scraper but Grandpa wouldn't sell it. His explanation was: "I would have gone and spent the thousand dollars and then he would have my rock and I would have had nothin'!" How awesome is that?!

After a delicious pork chop dinner we took some to my dad and visited him at the fire station. We always have to stop at the fire station as Madoc demands it. Trey and Charlotte are hanging out (above) and Madoc sits in the engine (below).

Does Madoc have a partial buzz cut in that last picture or am I seeing things? Charlotte looks bigger and older. That looks like a fun trip.

We need some hard copies. Grandpa and Grandma Shoaf will love them. It was a great picture. And we miss you already.

Great pictures. Madoc is a lucky little boy to have a firetruck at his disposal when ever he wants to sit in one!

Yay for Indiana visits! I guess you probably didn't mind our extreme heat this July considering you live in Arizona. :)
