Whirlwind

Here are a lot of pics from a couple things we've done in the last week. We went to 2 high school graduations (Brianna, Trent's sister & Kylie, Trent's cousin), a family reunion & visited with friends. The family reunion is one that Trent's family does every Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. This was the 90th consecutive gathering. It is at a beautiful spot in rural WV (Poplar) where a few of his great great grandparents and some other family members are buried. Trent's cousins travel there by hayride each year from his grandparents house. Once there, everyone congregates for some singing, prayer, a recap of the ancestors that have gone before us & a short message from the Bible. Then there's lots of food to eat (Trent was able to enjoy it!) and talking & catching up. It is such a glorious, rich time.

We also visited with some good friends in WV and traveled to Washington, DC to meet one of my best friends, Martha Jane and her boyfriend, Ryan. I'll post DC pics later, there's already more than enough here. We're enjoying time with our parents today before heading back to St. Louis tomorrow. What a whirlwind!
