Good Times

Dad and I have found some time to spend doing something that I loved to do as a little boy; going to the mountains and get a truck full of wood. We have been having a great time, we load the chain saw up and head for the hills. Of course we hope that we don't have to burn this wood but it is a - Just in case - adventure. It is fun remembering all the times we had getting wood all those years ago, loading the big 2 ton trucks of Brad's, the tree falling on Cloyd and Carolyn's truck, getting hit in the head with a lead bar cutting it open, and getting stung by bees, what memories we have as family and friends. For this trip Dad made a rack to put on the truck so that we could get a good load, so Saturday we loaded the truck up and headed toward Petty Mountain, it has been good spending time in the mountains but most of all with Dad, I'm greatful that he will take time out of his busy schedule to let me drag him to the mountains for a load of wood, I don't know if he realizes how much it really means to me. When we got home we took the kids with us to unload the truck, they were good little helpers, it took them no time at all to pitch the wood out of the truck into a little pile.

Wet Ones

Hello all, well we finally have another event to post. This past weekend was UEA so the kids didn't have school and Lynn, Millie, Karlie, Alawna and Austin went to Toronto to attend an event that is put on by some of the people that they worked with in Africa. So while they were gone grandma and grandpa had the grandkids all weekend and she wanted to find something new and fun for them to do while they were atGrandma's House. Vernal has a new recreation center that has an indoor pool with slide and a little play center in the middle with all kinds of different things to do, so we decided to go give it a try, it is a fun place to go, fun for all ages. Mason and Sydney had fun going down the slides and chasing Ian, Tracie and I around and around in the little current channel (Ian loved this the most, the current took us around in circles, he wore Tracie and I out). The slides are also fun, you can really get moving down them. I was a great time hanging out with the kids, fun had by all.
