The end of May and Sarah and Brad's wedding brought some of the Kalkwarf's to the farm. The wedding was in Webster City on Saturday, May 30. Jan drove down the Thursday before and stayed through the following Tuesday. Sharon flew in from Florida on Friday and stayed until Monday. Britt, Don, and Ron drove down Friday night and left Sunday morning. Matt also came Friday night and returned to Omaha on Sunday. Larry and Lane came to the farm after the wedding and spent the night. So, lots of family in attendance at the wedding for our niece, Sarah.
Following that group's visit, we got to enjoy Megan, Drew, Kayley and Ryan at the farm from Wednesday through Monday. Matt came back on Friday for that visit. We celebrated three birthdays at the farm. Grandpa on the 5th, Ryan on the 6th and Kayley (early), which is on the 9th. We did our usual farm stuff and the kids seemed to enjoy it. The farm never seems quite the same after they leave. Way too quiet and lonesome. I prefer action, I guess. :-)
A video of all that action I was talking about:
