On February 19th, John's Grandma Helen turned 91! We decided to drive out to her farm in Wisconsin to celebrate with her. John's parents were there, as well as his brother Dan and wife Annalee. We had a great time visiting and seeing everyone.
On Saturday, although it was pretty cold, we did manage to get in a few outdoor activities, including driving the Gator (a favorite for Hudson and Makenna), and shooting guns (John's favorite).
We also took a trip to the Dairy State Cheese Co. in Rudolph, WI. Visiting the Rudolph Dairy has become part of our tradition when visiting John's Grandma. You can watch the cheese being made, which is really fascinating. The kids were mesmerized by the whole thing! You can then buy any of about a 100 different varieties of cheese. They also sell ridiculously good ice cream.
On Sunday after attending church at the local branch, we celebrated Grandma Helen's birthday with a lunch, and presents and cake.

We are so glad that we were able to make the trip to Wisconsin to help celebrate with Grandma Helen. I am always so impressed by her, and the fact that at 91, she is still living on her farm by herself! Hopefully longevity runs in the family!
