More family pics and some Holland Fest

Told you these would be random and unorganized... the organizer in me is cringing, but I am going to just let it go.....  ha.  These are great pictures of all the individual families, can't wait to get them printed and hung up in the house somewhere.  For now all babies are born so they should be up to date for a bit... ;)

Kooger Reunion 2015 more

So many great pictures and memories.  Savannah and Evelyn will have some great memories from these days, I didn't see them for hours at a time they had so much fun playing with their cousins.  I hope we can continue to keep these connections throughout the years.

These group of pictures were taken by Jamie Bell--a professional photographer, she got much better shots than I did which is fantastic!
 

I may have to photoshop Brian into these... :(

The evening of the big storm--Dad doing devotions to open up our Brat/Hamburger fry in the barn.  

Some great pictures of a great time here.  Although I think we were glad when we could open the doors up after the storm rolled through.

Kooger Reunion 2015

We were so grateful to have the Kooger Reunion in Wisconsin this year--coincided our trip to make sure to be there for it and so glad we did.  Only thing could have made it better if Brian could have made it.  Maybe 2020 in Alberta. :)

About 75 people from all over Canada and the US traveled to Wisconsin--all offspring of Cor and Map Kooger.  So.many.kids. So much work was put into making the farm ready and it was worth all the work.   Beautiful weather, sandbox, swimming, visiting, beaching, ice cream, babies, bonfires, more visiting.

Uncle John aka baby whisperer found a baby--shocker.  :) 

a little girl heavy with all these kiddos
