The following few pictures are after Gene and Barb's ceremony renewing their wedding vows. This was at the church they got married in in Vernon:

Alyssa and Jerry (Jerry is Barb's dad)

Thank goodness for the popsicles at Joni's house... it was a HOT day!

Why do we always end up with pictures of Dave with a bug swatter?

Dave's grandpa Jerry made a nice meal for us the night we arrived in Vernon.

They gave Nathan some juice in a wine glass at this winery

Nate loves breakfast... anywhere!
