The Sign of a Good Weekend...

...Is a bunch of pictures. And we're talking a bunch!
We went to Bluffton on Saturday to visit with Jeff's family -- specifically, his aunt and uncle who were visiting from California.This is the grandkid/great-grandkid picture we got. Only a few missing, so that's not too bad.

These are Jeff's uncles, his grandma, and his mom.

These are the aunts and uncles.

After lunch and pictures, we went out to nose around in the barn. There are a million treasures out there:

These beer bottles are pretty cool; interesting that there was a tax on this one.

An old Ford tractor.

This ammo box has a label that's written in French.
Some of the tools look dangerous.

This box is awesome -- even if it is empty.

This is Jeff's cousin, Blake. Usually, he's inside the Butler Bulldog costume...when all of them aren't missing.

On to Sunday, which was the annual Lautenbach get together. At this one, we had three tractors to play on. An Oliver, which pulled the food wagon; a John Deere, which pulled the hay wagon; and my Grandpa's old Allis-Chalmers, which we requested for pictures.

This is my cousin's daughter, Hadley. She's a red-headed Dutchwoman, which can only mean she has a t-e-m-p-e-r. Pray for her parents.

This is my cousin, Derek, (who when clean-shaven is a Dale, Jr. look-alike), my dad's twin, Donnie, and Hadley.


Cooper wanted me to take his picture. Yep. Cooper. Cooper Engle. Strange, isn't it?
This is the best picture I could get of Miss Maddie. She was way too busy "driving".

We couldn't keep Brayden off the John Deere

Dad, and his "other twin", Brian

Pawpaw got to take most of his grandkids on a ride. (Luke is still a little too small.)

Maddie still won't give Uncle Brian a kiss...who can blame her?

So, there you are. Our weekend update on Tuesday. Again, a bunch of pictures...I may need an intervention.
