60 Years



As you know, the Walcotts had a lot to celebrate this past weekend. We're still tired over here.
We celebrated Grandpa & Grandma Walcott's 60th anniversary with a lot of the family at Beechwood Inn. We had a great time together.

60 YEARS!!! Jon and I have only been married 6. Wow!

Walcott Wedding...Woo-Hoo




Congratulations Scott & Erin!

Blueberry Pickin'

We are very lucky that we have lots to do in see within a very short distance of our house. Nestled on the north side of Holland are quite a few blueberry farms, and we all like blueberries, so we drove a couple miles to pick them - a first for our family. We had a great time, and I think we just might have an annual tradition on our hands.

On The Verge

We are on the verge of some major events in the Walcott Family:

Jon's youngest brother Scott gets married this weekend to Erin (Auntie RayRay). Congratulations Scott & Erin!


We are celebrating Jon's Grandpa & Grandma Walcott 60th Wedding Anniversary. Congratulations Grandpa & Grandma!


Finally, this coming Monday, Jon's parents, Dan & Kathy Walcott, leave for Nigeria. We'll miss you Mom & Dad/Grandpa & Grandma! Thank goodness for Skype right? Dan is going to teach Bible at Hillcrest School in Jos, Nigeria and if you know my mother-in-law she will have no trouble helping others in the area.


As you can imagine, spending time with each other is a top priority. This week we headed to Tres Lobos (our favorite Mexican Food restaurant), and then we climbed up to the top of Mount Pisgah, a dune near Holland State Park that they worked to preserve, but we get to now enjoy as well. I was impressed with the walk ways, the steps, the views, and the informational signs. My mother-in-law even saw a fox while we were up on the dune. We highly recommend the excursion if you're around here and up for lots of steps.

Yes, on the verge now, but we'll have stories and pics to share when we reach the other side. Have a great weekend!
