Falcons Visit and Art Showing

Yesterday we were blessed to enjoy a visit to the greats.  Nano enjoyed visiting with the grand-great-sons.

Playing with toys...

And just visiting...

Nonie shares the joy, such a blessing!

Later, we ran into Dale Reed, artist in residence at Falcons.

Dale and his models.

They may not be:

But easily recognizable even so...

Later, as we were getting ready to go,  Kitty enjoyed the joke of sitting in the car without a car seat:

It was a joyful, blessed day, thanks be to God!

Soccer game

On this beautiful Indian summer September day, Laura and her littles joined Johnny and I in cheering the Seton JV soccer team to a 3-1 victory over RMA.

The boys weren't the only ones who did a lot of running

Charlotte was busy making friends when she wasn't running, and there were quite a few nice little girls to play with.  Danny might not have been too interested in meeting the young ladies, but...

Daniel enjoyed making friends, too!

After the game victory lap.

And all too soon it was time to head home!

camping at Shenandoah River State Park

This was JP's first camping trip, and the high light was tubing down the river....

luckily pete could use an electric pump to fill the floatie with air or we would still be there :-)

....it is a 4 person inner tube, and the first trip down the river we all went together.

no pictures of my funny efforts to get in, haha, sorry!

the boys are on their way to the river...

umm....

downhill is a better option for finding water...

just saying....

and off they go!  the water was crystal clear, the weather was beautiful, the scenery delightful.

view from inside the camper...its a new campground and the trees are only a few years old.

Thanks be to God for a wonderful, blessed time!

A great time with the Greats August 2015

There was dancing!

there was toy repair, with "assistance"....

There were basket rides

and hugs all around.....

yummy dessert

This is a delicious dessert and very easy for little hands to assemble:

 the girls served this dessert with great pride that evening to their daddies who were very surprised, 

and seconds were had by all!

Both Charlotte and Kateri made it, but i only have pictures of Kateri at work.

Looks like Sebastian would like a taste....

looks like uncle peter would like a taste....

looks like someone got a taste!
