Father's Day with the Westras

Belated Blogging - This will be backdated to June 2004

 June 2004 in the Westra backyard ... some of the siblings gathered for Father's Day. The usual ladder golf and ball tossing. Pop beads were a hit. Who knew the older kids would enjoy them so much?

Grandpa showed off his juggling skills...

... and then he and Keaton flipped out a bit (see Keaton do it again years later Aug2018)

Then there was some picking of raspberries and cherries ...

Video and more pictures below!

Memorial Day 2004

Grandma and Grandpa's House

Grandma and Grandpa Westra love being outside and making the yard pretty. There are always lots of flowers and trees. The pond in the backyard is full of fish and feeding them is fun for all the grandkids (even if a few have fallen in over the years). There have been so many family group gatherings in the Westra backyard. 

If you look close at the pictures, I'm manning the video camera (these photos were from Grandpa's camera) ... so here's a peek at the live action that was going on while we visited. 

Easter 2004

Easter was on April 11 in 2004. It was Cooper's first Easter, and we got a few perfect pictures with his chubby little baby face with ears and eggs.  We started off the Easter activities with some dying of eggs (video below).

Then there was Easter morning ....

Checking out what was in the baskets, then backyard to hunt for more eggs!

Here's some video ...

There was also an Easter egg hunt with Westra cousins (see more at Westra Easter 2004).

The photo with the blue bunny ears, and then with the eggs (above) and the sun shining down are two favorites from this year, but there was another photoshoot at home with more eggs. Cute Cooper!

... I guess Callahan's preschool didn't make the paper ears and draw on whiskers like last year, but he still had a little Easter party and brought home a pail full of goodies.
