Just got back from making a mad dash to Wisconsin. Mom and Dad left a couple days before and mentioned it would be neat to get a 5 generation picture. The more I thought about it the more I liked the idea, so Friday we jumped in the car and left.
I aint been back there in about 16 years. WOW the traffic from Fargo all the way to Wis was AWEFULL. We stayed with some friends and saw alotta family and friends while we were there. Most important we got pictures with my 2 month old grandson meeting his Great, Great Grandparents.
Grandpa was 17 years old and a runner in the Pacific during WWII on 4 different islands including Peleliu and Okinawa. Anyone remember the movie "The Pacific"?. That was my Grandpas exact outfit. He and Sledge were good friends. He sure can tell some stories.
They didnt know we were coming and needless to say were VERY surprised when they opened the door. We had a good chat and stopped in a couple more times over the weekend before heading back to good old Wyoming. Its nice to be home. Too many people back there for me.
But, how many people can say they have a single picture with 5 generations of family?
PS. I finally got a picture on page 2
