This is Mom, Maria and Jon in front of Sioux Center Christian School. They were interested in seeing if schools in Iowa looked just like schools in Michigan.

Jon climbing up into the hay loft at cousin Larry's farm to see what was up there. Just hay.
And lots of cousins.
Vaca Vaca moo!

Family Reunion

These pictures were taken at the VanTol family reunion, which happened in and around Sioux Center, Iowa, in July, 2008. The beautiful Lady in the middle of the picture is my grandma, Christine VanTol who is 97 years old.
Maria and her cousin Anya at the park having fun.

Mom and Jon Felipe having a discussion or perhaps singing the cow song together.
this is what much of Iowa looks like in July.
We are all doing well, I'll post again soon.
