Welcome to the island! We visited family in South Bend, NE. Derik and Joey

had so much fun playing with their cousins, Jack and Sedona! Here they are hangin out

at the lake!

Next we went outside Sioux City to visit Patty on the farm. The boys were

very excited to ride the lawn mowers.

Our visit with Patty and Grandpa!
The boys found a cool tractor to climb on.

Derik and Joey were very excited to fish with Grandpa. We met him at a lake

and Derik and Keith caught two rainbow trout.

Derik was so excited about his fish, he started to cry when we told him that we would

have to throw him back in the water. We couldn't get the hook out of the fish

so the fish died, Derik named him, "floater". He played with the dead fish for

about two hours before he finally threw him away.

Joey was able to throw back the other fish before it died, he named that one, "swimmer".

Thanks for taking us fishing Grandpa and Daddy!!
