Checking out the record player that we found in Mom's attic. I love that the kids kept calling the records "really big DVD's!" 

Lake fun!

Preparing to do some more chasing of the squirles. We went to the lake again the other day and these are some of the pics. A couple more friends came this time. It is always great fun. Again, I can't stop myself from saying Thank you God for such a great group of friends to fellowship with! I and my children are blessed!

Chasing squirrels... could be why the squirel wouldn't leave us alone a little later! 

More watering! 

What a beauty Meg is! She fell though just after this and cut her chin and chest and leg. Poor girl. It looked like it really hurt! Hope she is doing great no Carmen! 

One happy camper!

Sometime close to when the squirel started to bug us, he wouldn't leave us alone!
