They traveled on Superior, WI, to visit with Sarah and Benji Pearson, Steven, Elizabeth and Andrea.. While there they all celebrated Sarah’s birthday. The grandchildren helped make a cake and prepare Sarah’s birthday meal. Nancy and Dale returned recently to share in the celebration of Elizabeth 14th birthday.
