On Saturday, August 22, we all went to Minnehaha Park to join Aunt Jean and family for a nice lunch picnic. Uncle John was in town and came with us as well. We all had a wonderful time and ate great, too. Babies were squeezed; David, Amy, Angela , and I enjoyed a fun Newlywed game; and John went for a walk with Kelsy to the Ford Bridge to look over the side and also wave to us at the park... good times.This park holds a special place for us and most likely the Buckleys, too. Not far from our picnic area is where our boys' Great Grandpa John spent his last days with us. Being at the park that day reminded me of John's funeral last year. He was buried with full honors, a 21 gun Salute at the Fort Snelling cemetery... a moving moment to say the least. A Generation may be gone, but his memories will live and be passed on to his Children's, Children's, children.
