Everyone is doing GREAT!

Saturday is a Football Day!

 Nathanael on the Ravens had the first game of the day at 9:00. He played GREAT. Some great catches, even a short catch with a long run for a touchdown!!  They lost, but it was a close game like 19 to 25 or so. 

See if you can spy Nathanael running for the catch!  The QB has released it! (MY pics are far away. :) )

Jeremiah, also on the Ravens, had a 10:30 game! He played good too! Their team won like 30 something to 6. 

Jeremiah is wearing Orange shorts -easier to spot. 

And - Nathanael also signed up for the High School Flag team - and is on the Rams at 1:30.  Another FUN game to see. Rams lost but only 20somethign to high teens.

Nathanael was the center - he's right in the middle of the 'team'.

Adley is playing an away Varsity game today - I will have to upload the stats!

Go Football!!!!

Labor Day Weekend Camping!

 WOW, did we have a Fantastic Weekend!!

We arrived Thursday evening with PIZZA! The Parsons and Grandma & Grandpa arrived then too!

We were really excited about the size of the camp spaces - the campground was really nice.  The boys did LOTS of biking! The weather was GREAT all weekend. (Due to drought we were not allowed any campfires...we thought that would be a real bummer, however the kids were so busy all day - we didn't really need a fire. it would have been nice, but didn't really put a damper on things!)

On Friday...

The Beach... in the morning. More biking and exploring.

Afternoon: more beach. There were 6 dudes on this tube at a time. Sometime Uncle Ben and Adley were spinning the dudes to make the dizzy. 

Saturday we biked, kayaked, swam.  And put on a great performance that evening! 

Until Auntie Bee realized that was her sheet the boys were using for the display. :)

Sunday - we ate breakfast and packed up!

One more Ride before we Roll!

Our Traditional Family Photo! One more dog in the family, the Parsons have Mazie!
