Paying Respects to a Great Man

Last Week we learned that the kiddos last Great Grandfather, Cameron Sherman, had passed. We traveled late into the night to get to New Jersey to attend his funeral and spend some time with family. Here are a few more than a few pictures of our trip. (Warning: Serious Picture OVERLOAD to follow)


On the way to the funeral - yes, Lexi has another pair of sunglasses... (Hey, they're good for your eyes.)

(The 2 remaining Camerons - Matching.)






While we were there, we stayed at Nana and Pop-pop's house. They have a large jacuzzi tub, which the kiddos LOVED. Nana got them each a new swimsuit and let them swim in their "Pool." Cameron called it the beach. He begged for his bath every night in his "super suit." Here are a couple (more) pictures of the fun:







While we were there we took Cameron skiing for the first time. He had fun until he realized that it wasn't so easy to go uphill. He wanted to see where everyone was coming from and planned to climb to the top of the mountain by himself. He's going to be great next year. Season's pass here we come!







Lexi had fun exploring and acting as the Cheering Squad


Nana located some great indoor, rainy-day fun for the kiddos at a place called The Jump Zone. Cameron LOVED jumping and sliding on "Lightning McQueen" and Lexi had fun on the horses. Here's a few pictures of the fun:







Circumstances being what they were, we had a good time and look forward to visiting again soon. We will miss Butch, but he will always have a place in our hearts.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Glad that the children were able to have a great time. Abby and Lexi have the same swimsuits :) Abby picked hers out and would not put it back.

Hey Emily-that is exactly what they said Trew had! They almost made me take him to an eye doc that same day but decided to try the meds first. The picture was taken after he had had two doses of antibiotics-it was much worse before that. Loosing a family member is always hard, sorry for your loss. Your kids just couldn't be any cuter! (is that a word?) When do you plan on visting your parents again, I'd love to catch up--maybe for lunch with our moms (and kids!)
