Smiles and Laughs


 
I am smiling because you are my brother.
I am laughing because there is nothing you can do about it!

 
As adults, life can pass by without the opportunity to enjoy siblings and their family. Thankfully, the opportunity didn’t pass by on the Venzaliner50 journey to share smiles and laughs with my brother and his family in their world in Laramie, Wyoming. 

The smiles and laughs occurred over several days during dinner with Maggie and Rhylan (without mom and dad!), wine and hors d'oeuvres at Jim, Patti & Eleanor’s home (we missed you Jim!), an evening with Andrea (thanks for leaving town Joe!), and my birthday celebration with the family and Joe and Andrea’s friends (thanks George for the delicious olive oil!)

Many smiles and laughs were shared on a camping trip with Joe and Rhylan.  We ventured out to “Elk Camp” in the Medicine Bow National Forest to hike and scout the area for their upcoming hunting season. Joe had smiles when he realized he had an extra set of hands to haul a load of wood back to Laramie. Click here to see additional camping pictures.
 
 

Another smile…Cross country is a love of Maggie's and therefore, I was thankful for the timing of my visit as I was able to join in on cheering her on to 12th place in the Varsity Girls 5000 meter run at the Laramie Invitational at Happy Jack.

Maggie is front left runner!

 
 
Rhylan kept Joe and  I entertained one afternoon with his metal detector; amazing the things one can find in the fields.

 

Thanks for the time Joe, Andrea, Maggie and Rhylan; I certainly enjoyed every moment and look forward to the next visit!   

Joe, Rhylan, Andrea & Maggie
