We're back from vacation!!

Our travels began in Kearney, Nebraska then we shot to Portland, Oregon and ended in Waterville, Kansas. We went to Kearney to celebrate Michael's Grandmothers 95th birthday!! Uncle Steve and Auntie Jan were our hosts and really outdid themselves, it was AC (action central) all the time and food, we ate like kings everyday, every meal! Thank you so much for taking such good care of us. We got to spend time with Michael's cousins, aunts, uncles who came from all over. California, Florida, Minnesota and Oregon; if I forgot a state, sorry!! There was not a whole lot of sight seeing in Kearney but we did manage to find some corn, horses and goats!! We then went to Portland to hang with Auntie Jules and John and they were also outstanding hosts. Can we come live with you, hehe. Michael's cousin Will took us crabbing our first day there, we didn't have any luck but we sure did have a good time!! John and Julie cooked for us a lot and we ate like kings again, damn I wish that Buttress/Casey cooking would come to my kitchen in Florida, hehe. We went hiking, saw some beautiful waterfalls and did some shopping. So much to do so little time, we will be back for sure!! Our last stop was Kansas but it was not a social call I'm afraid. My grandfather had been battling brain cancer and died while we were in Portland, so on that Thursday the 16th when we were suppose to come home, we flew to Kansas to be with my family and pay our respects and say goodbye to an incredible man. We finally made it home on the 18th about 1am, we were glad to be home and our doggies were jumping for joy!! Check out some of the pictures!! Thanks again to all the families everywhere, we love you all and cant wait to do it again, before grammy hits 100!!
