Camping

Our good friends, the Lamb family, invited us to go camping with them along with another family from church, the Chidesters.  It was one of the best camping trips we've ever been on.  We went tubing, played on the little beach by the lake, we went for walks, caught fish, shot guns (some of us), campfires, played on the playground, played horse shoes, and best of all got to be with some great friends.  Here are some highlight pictures.  Let's start with my personal favorite!

My little dirtball, Erik!  (I just showed him this picture and he said, "We gotta clean that boy!")

 Annelise with Danika

 Nick and Jack

 Isaac and Patrick

 Not a bad haul for two kids!!

Just a few recent pictures

Carly and Annelise had a small, joint family party before their grandparents left

Both girls had their own party on a Saturday.  Glad to get it over in one day.

The gang's all here

Summer haircuts.  I remember my brother Evan getting a similar one for the summer.  Robyn didn't think they were appropriate for church, so they got buzzed

Erik follows me in to the garage whenever he can, he's always talking to me about my 'workin's' which are tools.  He loves to work on the cars, even without pants on.  When Erik saw this picture up on the computer he said, "That's me workin on my stuff!"
