Good Buddies

I caught these two snoozing in similar positions and thought they were just so cute. We have enjoyed having Max here for a visit. I believe these two good buddies have had a good time hanging out together for awhile, but I know Max will be glad to see his family again soon.

That would be the lizard....

8bol, our little dog, and Max, Kristen's little dog (who is visiting while his family is on vacation) were running very energetically into the kitchen recently as I caught a glimpse of what I thought was a lizard slipping into a small space beside the dishwasher at the floor. They sniffed around the floor and then went on their way, pretty much unfazed by my quick, although loud, shrieks. I told Adam and Logan to be on the lookout for the lizard to resurface and I headed outside to do something. When I came back in, there were Adam and Logan...and the lizard...all sitting in the living room, apparently just hanging out together! I shrieked again and asked if they could catch it, which Logan did and took it outside for me. It was just "funny" to me that they hadn't even noticed it - in the middle of the living room floor - until I came in and pointed it out! Didn't I just say there was a lizard in the house and to be on the lookout?!

A good time was had by all...

We had a wonderful family vacation! We camped in Virginia from Wednesday until Saturday and had lots of fun together and made some wonderful memories. I sure love you guys!

Adam and Elise discussing strategy! We had fun playing mormon rook around the table at our campsite one evening.

The rafts were a big hit!

Our Family Vacation

After setting up our campsites and getting settled in, we took a walk around the area and down to the lake. We had a good time walking along and talking with each other. Even though it got dark and started raining before we got back to our tents, it was still lots of fun!

The fam sitting around our campsite. We enjoyed the time in camp to eat together, play games, do crafts, visit with one another, have devotional and scritptures, and just be together!

We had some great meal planners (Kristen and Cory) and lots of great cooks! We had hot dogs and hamburgers, Kristen's wonderful chicken salad, Adrian's delicious peach cobbler, smores, hobo dinners, pancakes and smoked sausage, and lots of other good food! This is a picture of Adrian working on his famous peach cobbler.
