Trip to See Alanna and Levi

 We had a great time visiting with Alanna and Levi in Kansas City last week. It is always great to spend time with our kids. They are doing great with their jobs and studies. Levi has been promoted in his role with the security on campus and is enjoying that. He will be finishing his bachelors in business in May and then will most likely continue on to a Masters of Divinity next fall.

We went to a farm/zoo place there that was a neat place. 

Emma wasn't too sure of the goats

Lots of pics with bubby Levi.

We celebrated Emma and Caleb's birthdays again with Levi and Alanna.

The girls spent the night with Levi and Alanna and Alanna took them to see Levi's work.

Lots of game time.

Luke wanted to ride in Leiv's police car.

The girls needed a ride too.

It was good to visit Levi and Alanna's Church as well. 

Lake House Trip

 We are grateful for some summer down time this past week. Levi and Alanna were able to be here for a a few days too. It is a beautiful place and great to have extended time together relaxing. See some of the fun below.

This is from our traditional dinner at Cracker Barrel.

We spent lots of time in the water!

Emma most of the time preferred the baby pool.

Graduations and Last Family Get Away

 We are coming up on some more big changes for the Kunkel Family! Levi and Alanna are getting married in 18 days, Jacob is leaving for basic training for the space force in about 6 weeks. We were able to get away for a long weekend at a friends lake house before these changes happen. Probably our last vacation as a family of 10. We had some really great weather for last part of April. Here are some pictures of our time away.

Lake was cold but didn't keep kids from swimming and kayaking

Lots of park time

I (Ben) might have fallen a bit behind on the hike I did with the boys.

Almost everyone

Levi and Alanna recently graduated as well so we celebrated those accomplishments with them, of course. Levi finish an associates degree from a community college here in Indianapolis and Alanna her Bachelors in Education from Northern Kentucky University. They both graduated with honors and we are proud.
