BACK TO SCHOOL 2016 IN FRISCO, TEXAS
Gary and Rhonda make two trips to see Kristen and family in Frisco, Texas, during the early weeks of the 2016-17 school year.
September 2-4, 2016
We spend the first weekend of September celebrating Kyle's 18th birthday, in addition to wishing him well just days before he leaves for Rexburg, and his freshman year at BYU-Idaho. Very bittersweet to see our three oldest grandchildren (Spencer, Jessica and Kyle) grow old enough to begin college. Life definitely moves on!

We make another trip to Frisco for an early celebration of Parker's 17th birthday, in addition to seeing him off to homecoming. We also get to watch Seth's football team, the Longhorns, cream their latest opponent and go undefeated for the season.

THANKSGIVING SEASON WITH KIM AND FAMILY: November 13-27
Rhonda spends two great weeks with Kim's family in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Gary joins the fun from November 22-27, including a wonderful long Thanksgiving weekend with both the Brown and Dyal families. Julie, Josh, Alex and Logan make the 3-hour drive from Canton, Michigan to Reynoldsburg to add even more merriment to our celebration.
Rhonda takes many still shots during her two weeks in Ohio, but the greatest visual souvenir taken during our Thanksgiving together is Kim's "My Awesome Music Video" taking up the trending Mannequin Challenge.
