First Day of School 5th 3rd 2nd

August 18th and 19th:
It is that time of the year again when summer vacation is over and school starts up again. We can't believe that we have a 5th, 3rd, and 2nd grader. They are growing up so fast but it is a pleasure to watch them each step of the way.

Had to have a picture of the backpacks.

Summer Fun 3 - Lemonade and Fun Kids

It is great to have awsome kids. It is fun to see them have fun together and love eachother.

Lemonade Stand - the kids did good in their first business day. They made more in tips than selling lemonade - there are some gracious people out there. As I once heard one should always stop and buy a cup of lemonade from a kids stand.

Our kids are great.

Summer Fun 2 - Trip to Black Butte, OR

The trip started off as an adventure - we made it to Dunsmuir before we had a flat tire - drove to Mt Shasta on I-5 with one of those bike tire spares. But once we replaced two tires and made it to Black Butte we had a blast with our friends the Carlson's - thanks for inviting us guys.



The kids ready to go.
