It's About Time

OK....It has been long enough I need to catch you all up on our lives. We last left off at Erin's birthday...After Erin's birthday and before school started we decided to go on a little vacation. We got a free Condo in McCall Idaho. So we loaded up the mini van with Eric, Terri, Katie, and Erin and headed north to Idaho.
Now you might ask, what is in McCall Idaho? I know we were asking...Here is what we found.
First of all they drive funny in Idaho......This picture was taken through the windsheild of our car. It was a little weird to look up to see a truck heading toward you...





Erin and Katie bought Crayons and Coloring books and those fuzzy marker posters to entertain themselves on the almost 6 hour ride.

This is what we found in McCall. It was beautiful. We had so much fun. I think we were all sad when we had to come home.






We rented a kayak and a canoe, we went swimming and we skipped rocks











The next day we got a wave runner and we went to the beach.











We played all day and we watched the Olympics at night and then when we got home it was time to do the Corn.


Eric and the Kids video of doing Corn...It's almost as good as being there.



After the Corn was all done, it was time for school to start. Erin and Katie looked very cute for their first day of school. Then it was Katie's 17th birthday. I don't know how that can be. It seem's like just a few years ago she was just a little baby in my arms. She is growing up into a very lovely young lady. (That is what her Dad would say)



Then all the kids went singing in the rain. We have been blessed with children that usually really like each other. And they find creative ways to entertain each other.










So I guess if I tell you that Eric and I are still alive and well, Brandon is staring in "Twelve Angry Men" at the theater (it was hard to picture Brandon as an angry man), Heidi and Katie are still playing softball, and Erin might get to dance with the Junior's group this year, you will be all up to date with the happenings of our family. We will now go and do more stuff to blog about.
See you later.
