Ben Franklin Fair

   The kids saw pictures of their cousin's in this ball, so they had to try it too, since it was at the fair....
Chad, Grandma, Grandpa  and the children went to the fair this year, & let the kids go crazy trying new things in which they had a lot's of fun!

Silverwood here we come....

Wow summer ends quick. We were able to go to Silverwood in August. We again slept under the stars in grandpa's motor home. It was cold chilly days, but that was not going to spoil our fun! We were there from open to close. Water park was always the first thing we did when we got through the gates. Deacon was like a fish, & never wanted to get out of the water. He would just go out deeper and deeper. I always felt I had to go in after him just to pull him closer to shore. While pulling him in, a big wave got us and when I stood back up I had lost my swimsuit top, talk about embarrassing!!! Day Two the weather got worse. It rained on us, but we still had our fun. We were able to catch the magic show( boy he was impressive) & even ice cream. Riding the Ferris Wheel in the rain was quite an experience. As the park closed we walked back to the motor home in tank tops and shorts, running trying to some how stay dry. Hailey looked like a little mud princess when we made it back.  Lot's of fun cleaning in the campground bathrooms. We all wish for a nicer summer for next year....

Summer of 2010

Summer was great! We spent time with my family up in leavenworth in July over Hailey's birthday.
All the time exploring the wilderness & camping under the stars. We took long walks in the woods

snaping pictures of all the family, mostly all neice's & nephew's. But for the most part all of us enjoyed the get-a-way from our normal lives.....
