The Farewell..... The last 4th of July at the Butte Wulf's

Let me begin this post by saying that Ben's grandparents were born and raised in Butte, along with his parents. Due to illness and personal decisions to be closer to the doctors, Ben's grandparents decided to sell their place they have lived in for 50 years. This was very hard for them to do, and hard for all of us to witness. We all gathered in Butte for one last hur-rah! for the Butte Fourth of July and the Wulfs!

Now these pictures will be in no particular order, so please bare with me.... This is Grandma and Grandpa Wulf, sitting on their back porch, just three days before they closed, and had to be out for good. Remember they raised all their kids here and their grandkids visited them in this home...
This is Ben, playing with Vasko at his other grandparents' and aunt's house... The Mahoney's Bradley and Caden... Best Buddies......... Most of the time........ They are boys...
My lazy Sister Erin, lounging


All the cousins playing on Uncle T's boat. Yes, Eric loves his sister, Brittany

No Fourth of July would be complete without the Red Pants!!!! Gram and Gramp at the Parade.

Boooo Hoooo She's also smiling because she HADN'T broken any ribs yet- that was still about 36 hours away.... it was a weekend full of injuries... we had broken toes, sprained knees, broken ribs, skin infections, and migraines....An awesome picture at Sunset of Butte from the Wulf's property

I love the pond and the gallace frame in the background in this picture.
