Fun weekend


We spent the weekend out at Davey - for Father's Day and Jeff's (John's dad) bday. I won't say which bday- out of respect for the man! :0)

We didn't make it to the lake which really bummed out the kids- but we're hoping to make it this week and we'll most definitely make it out there over the holiday weekend in a few weeks.

During one of the storms last early last week- a HUGE cottonwood tree was uprooted and knocked down into one of the ponds. The trunk of the tree would take at least 3 if not 4 people to reach around it! The kids are sitting on it in the above picture. The bottoms of their feet are at least two feet off the ground. I'm guessing it was probably over 100 years old - which makes it kind of sad! It would have been a spectacular sight seeing that tree fall!

We had family pix on Sunday- and it went surprisingly well! I was a little worried about how we were going to keep 5 kids in white shirts- clean and looking good. But we did it, the photo session was painless and I can't wait to see the proofs. Especially of the ones of the girls and cousins in the 'climbing tree.'
