my cup runneth over

everyone got in on the raspberry picking at some point --here is anna with her treasures

balloon toss--dad and bryan-pass over to abbie and anna--they got tossing them pretty high and made some good catches too

anna and anna demo the slip and slide

the could run and slide on their bellies on the tubes too--the other kids got in the action too

lots of water--lots of kids lots of jumping--not shown is bryan holding the hose to make a rainbow for them to run under--they really liked this about the best of anything I think

lets settle down around the fire after we put up tents for sleeping

matching flipflos for the girlies--at the lake

everyone got a turn on the wave runner-from young to old

what's your favorite song ? (we got if your happy and you know it--twinkle little star, wheels on the bus, bingo--)

AS THEY SAY IN MIDWAY--A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL----------

dad and I always enjoy any time you kids are able to take time off work or come on a weekend

we enjoyed --this past weekend it reminded dad and I again how lucky we are to have you as family and even better as friends what stands out in your mind is the good times and a grandpa who is ever ready to help roast a marshmellow or make smores--or play with the kids--and wrestle with them and watch tv with them or toss water balloons in a towel well its just bound to have some fun in there somewhere------for someone--we missed you brad and kerri and kaci and hayley we prayed for you in the FHE around the fireplace and you were all noticibly missed (lots) you all make our lives happy--
