Photos from Trip to IL

Stacy and I made a trip to IL in June to visit the Ham families. We had a great time. Here are just a few photos from our trip.

P.S. As we were driving down, we experienced a beautiful sunset. Go to the J&S Photography blog to view some of those photographs.

:-)! I can finally post on the Drury report!!!

Sad to say-- I don't know who some of those adorable children belong to! It's been too long since some of you Shirl's have visited the luxurious Martin camp!

I may need a run down as to who belongs to who:-)!

I LOVE this site-- Thanks Joel for setting it up!

r,

Caleb, Alivia, & Ethan (my nephews & niece) are Eric & Nancie Ham's little ones.

I'm not sure if you remember us, but Eric, myself, and our younger brother Jeremy are sons to Carl & Becky Ham (Tom & Shirley Drury's 2nd oldest daughter).

That being said, yes, it has been a long while since we've visited BL. I think I was going into my Sophmore year of high school the last time I went. That was 12 or 13 years ago! I look forward to returning next year, maybe, Lord willing. That's confidence, isn't it? :)

You let me know if you need me to point out anymore of the twigs, branches, or limbs on this side of the family tree. ;)

One more thing, Eric & Nancie live in Peoria, IL, Stacy (my beautiful wife) & I live in Chaska, MN, and Jeremy & Chrissy live in Bloomington, IL. Our parents live in Hopewell, IL (just north of Peoria).

That might help tie things together geographically.

Thanks so much for helping me out with the twigs and branches;-) lol!!

That would be GREAT if you made the bass lake trek-- especially if your wife Tracy came too! I like to get to know all the crazy Martin's-- especially if they've married into the FAM. (takes a special person to put up with the CLAN;-)

It's Stacy, not Tracy. Don't worry about that though. Early on when we were dating, I spelled her name wrong (Stacey). That's almost unforgivable when you're dating someone. So no worries.

Stacy had a glimpse of the Martins before we even dated. She's friends with Aunt B (Brenda Bixby) and Grant Willet is a friend of her family (The Leemans). Not to mention she and I were dating when Grandma Martin died and she came to the funeral with me. So she had a pretty good idea of what she was getting into. :)

However, she has not been to Bass Lake, which, if it's anything like it used to be, is a completely unique Martin family experience. So it should be fun for both of us. ;)
