We had my Grandfather's memorial service and our entire family spent the weekend doing all the things that we loved to do. Luke, Eva, and Hudson have never been to Sterling, IL where Grandad and Grandmie Behrens lived. I have always wanted to show Luke how the train goes steadily across the river. I have always wanted to show Eva the special attic and garden paths. We were able to visit his old house even though it is not in the family anymore. The home has been loving updated with a new kitchen and geothermal heating and cooling system. It brought back great memories to be there.
I wanted the Behrens name to live on so that is why Hudson has it in his name. Hudson J.B. Krause, or Hudson James Behrens Krause has a lot to live up to. We know you (Hudson) have been blessed by your families heritage.
We also went to our favorite frisbee golf course (not pictured) and Bennett was able to come in his wheel chair so we were all there. We hiked the new river path and Bryce lead the 7 and under clan through the tight cliff path to ascend the bluff. After that we did our last hike at White Pines Forest.
The hiking fairy made his first appearance to the next generation. Thanks for the fun tradition Grandy.
We had such a special time re-living all of our favorite childhood memories. They were made even more special by the next generation to share them with. Here is to a great next generation built on the one before.
