Cuddling with dad

Last Sunday after church Sarah was trying to convince us that she was too big for a nap. As she was dozing on Tony's shoulder.

Helping Grandma

Joey and Jessica helping to make applesauce. Joe helped a lot as we were canning applesauce, corn, and beets. Jess really liked helping with the apples. It's fun learning how to help mom and grandma and these are moments I hope she remembers for life.
Sarah mostly just likes to be around grandma. She asks all the time to go to grandma's house. Personally I think it's because Grandma spoils them.

The Hike to Iron Bog

Nature in all it's splendor.

Finally at the lake. They had to turn right around and come back because it started to look like rain. So they hiked two miles each way at a pretty good incline just to turn around and come back. And that my friend is why I stayed at camp to begin with.

Camping Labor Day Weekend

who could possibly manage to stay clean while camping? I have to say though, that this is a little ridiculous.
kick back relaxing and acting all cool.
