Joe & Jeff Visit

In May our sons Joe and Jeff blessed us with a visit. They were with us on two weekends. The first weekend we had them for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Friday we visited some castles in Wales and on Saturday we revisited Tatton Park. On the second week end we went to Buxton for a swinging good time in the tree tops.


In Tatton Park we helped two little girls feed this cute family of ducks.
These were some interesting plants that may have been brought from Africa. The owner of Tatton Park visited Africa a number of times and my son Joe said they looked some plants they had seen there. They get really tall by the end of summer and children like to play under them.
This is one of the art pieces they have in the park. Boys will be boys.
They have a maze made of hedges in the park that we all went through and this is what's in the middle of it.
Here we are in the fernery again. I still love that hot, humid place.
Joe & Jeff riding cannons in Caernarfon Castle, Wales.
Behind Ginny and Joe is the circle in Caernoarfon where Prince Charles was crowned Prince of Wales.
The following are pictures taken at Conway Castle which is also in Wales.

These are some pictures and video of our trip to Buxton where we went to a place called "Go Ape". It was a fun place to zip line and rope swing through the trees.

  1. Bless Dad's heart. I was laughing so hard watching the video of him swinging his legs all over the place!

  3. I haven't checked your blog for awhile so I was excited to see all the pictures and especially the videos. Looks like fun. I wonder if you would have ever gotten Grandma Lloydine on one of those. Ginny was brave. Glad you had a nice visit with Joe and Jeff.

  5. Your pictures were wonderful. My ancestors were from Wales and it was interesting to see some of it. Makes me want to go there. What a lovely place to serve your mission. It sure is prettier than the Congo. Thanks for sharing.
