Vacation Blues

On the very last day of vacation, Perry III had the privilege of getting the virus that plagued the little ones during most of their vacation. Believe me I know how he felt, I was down with it on the second day of vacation.

Home At Last

Thomas was so glad to be home after 14 days in England and Scotland. We told him we were taking him to breakfast. When asked where he would like to go to eat his reply was: "anywhere they serve American food".

Happy Birthday to Perry IV

I can't believe it has been a year that Catherine and I were driving home and got the call from Perry III and said it's a boy! I replied are you joking? He said no it's really a boy, and I just had to ask him again are you really joking? When it sunk in they had their first boy we hollered all the way home. He has turned in quite the little man, looking more like his dad and grandpa everyday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY you little sweetie!

The Dynamic Duo

A Day at the Lake

When we were at the lake we rented a party barge it was so much fun. The girls took turns tubing while grandpa drove the boat.

What a Day!

Tired boaters return at the end of the day. What fun it was . We packed in as much tubing, swimming, and fellowshipping as we could.

Party Time

This year we had plenty of room for all to enjoy the lake on the party barge. Grandpa was the driver for the little ones. They had so much fun taking turns on the tube.

Help the Sharks are Coming! NOT

When we stopped to change tubers the girls were quick to jump in for a quick swim in the middle of the lake.

Grandma let me go!

Byson wanted to get out of the life jacket so bad for a while. Riley was such a good helper with the little ones.

Reel em in.

Bekka really loved her time in the tube. She is getting some help switching turns from Riley and Megan.

Sleepy time!

Sh ssh! Perry IV is getting his afternoon nap to the rhythm of the boat flying across the water.

Grandma and her water babies!

Grandpa Let us Drive!

Byson and Perry IV are on the look out for a chance to get in grandpa's driver seat.

Ready Set Go!

Two of the older girls are ready for the ride of their life.

Lydia loves the boat ride!

Lydia hangs on while waiting her turn on the tube.

Hold on Perry!

Perry's favorite part of the ride watching the waves go splashing by.

My Man!

Rachel Trying to Decide About Tubing

Rachel was the youngest to tube behind our boat. She couldn't make up her mind until her second try and then loved it.

I'm Getting Seasick

Perry IV is taking a rest from standing and looking at the waves go rushing by.

What a Place for Relaxation!

We were on our way to get on the lake. It was so relaxing to see God's beautiful handiwork.

Deanna is ready for the sun.
