This blog has been created by and for the Kinast Family. As we begin to grow and branch out, we thought it might be fun to create a place where we could learn and share about one another. In this blog, you will hear stories about funny situations we have been in, current status on family, things that have helped us to grow as people and other positive impacts that we have each experienced in our lives. So, sit back, take a few moments to relax, and learn about those you love who will always love and support you in your life...

On March 25 all four great granddaughters went to Hutch Hospital to visit Great Grandma. It was a fun and energetic time.  Great Grandpa got to meet Ava and then enjoyed lunch with everyone at his house. Kinley and Ava are both alert and strong for their ages.
