The grandboys came to our cabin north of Peoria for 7 whole days from June 28 to July 4 and seemed to love every minute of it -- SWIMMING, fishing, catching every imaginable lake creature (fish, frogs, turtles, minnows, even a live rabbit, etc), playing basketball, scooter rides, Peoria Fireworks, etc.  A highlight was a birthday party for Caleb, now age 10.  And, another highlight was a gift for each from Uncle Marty K who MADE each of the arrowheads shown in the picture, mounted them onto the nice wood plaques, and gave a plaque to each of Aaron & Kara's 3 boys.  They were thrilled!
Pictured are:      Carter, 8 on August 13         Cooper, 4          Caleb 10 on July 22

Wow - those boys are really growing up. And very handsome boys. How did you ever keep up with them for a whole week?! Bet you were exhausted and "crashed" for a few days when they left. BUT there's nothing better than spending time with grandchildren and it's well worth being tired.

Love those arrowheads made by Marty. We have a black & white sketch of our house that he made for us shortly after we moved here and we treasure it.

What a unique and special gift for the boys! I ditto Ada...exhausting but fun. Your cabin has been a great place for your family and now is making great memories for these boys.
