Mother's Day Pictures
Since Grandma Carrell was visiting for Mother's Day, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to get a nice picture of the kids. Were we able to accomplish our goal? Take a look...
Oh well, we will try again another day.

The Weekend in Amsterdam

You can't go to Holland without seeing windmills.
They took a bike tour.
Saw where clogs are made.
Enjoyed the tulips-
And had a wonderful weekend together.

The ROCK... of Gibraltar
Our last day trip on our Spanish vacation was to Gibraltar. Gibraltar has been a British Territory since 1713 (although now it is self governing). It is a peninsula (on the iberian peninsula) but is sometimes called an island. The strait of Gibraltar separates Europe from Africa and links the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea.
We're driving to Gibraltar- the van in front of us is the Halls van. We followed the Halls to Gibraltar and then walked around and toured with the.
An actual tourguide found us and was willing to take all of us with him. (6 adults and 11 children all in one van.)
Gibraltar has a lot of history that involves war. Here the kids are on an old cannon. (L - R: Claire, Kailey, Axelle, Emery, Jake, Abby, Hannah and Shelby)
St. Michaels cave was amazing. The stalactites and stalagmites and so incredible to look at. Part of this cave is huge. They still give concerts here. Claire, Jake, Shelby, Abby, and Hannah- with Sarah in back- doing their silly faces.
It is said that if the apes ever leave Gibralar, so will the British. The apes are really not afraid of anything. Jake looks very natual with the monkey on his head.
Emmm, Kailey, you have a monkey on your shoulder!
Shelby with an ape.
Madison thought her dad looked cute with a monkey on his shoulder.
Here are all of the Carrells and Halls. I love this picture- too bad some of us were cut off! (This is what happens when you hand someone your camera and ask them to take your picture.)
The Carrells- solid as the rock of Gibraltar!
