The Extended Martin Family

 

 

We traveled to Ohio for Joel's graduation. Here are the girls in the minivan, acting as if the drive was not long and tiring.

 

Actually, it was a fairly nice and easy drive ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... and we stopped at a few places along the way. Such as historic Winter Quarters, on the Iowa-Nebraska border (photo below).

 

We also visited Nauvoo, Illinois on our way back. Very pretty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once we arrived in Dayton, Ohio, we met up with the Martin extended family to see Joel graduate.

 

(Ahem)

 

Apparently this is the only photo we have of Joel in his cap and gown. No, wait ... we have another one with him getting covered in silly string. We'll use this one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are the family Patriarch and Matriarch, Truman and Marge Martin.

 

Or Mom and Dad.

 

Or Grandma and Granddaddy.

 

They answer to any or all of the above appellations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had a mini re-union.
