The Fair~2013
 We met Kim, Bridgette and Melissa along with all the
kids at the fair Friday morning.  It was perfect.  It
wasn't too HOT and it wasn't that crowded.

Deadwood 2013
 Our Beautiful Camping  Spot
Deadwood Reservoir
My parents came out for ten days and
brought Ashton with them and we
spent the first five days camping.
We had a great spot, amazing weather,
fun company and of course good food!
 Ashton and Owen fishing.  They woke
up every morning and wanted to fish. 
Ashton hadn't really fished before
so he thought it was pretty cool.
They actually caught a few and had
fun.  However their attention
span wasn't too long so they
were done pretty quickly!


 It is hard to see, but there is a bald Eagle on top
of one of those trees and we would see him
several times.  Such Beauty!
 More fishing!  Aaron sitting with them telling
them to be patient!
 
 Sitting  and waiting

Ashton relaxing on the hammock.  He had
such a great time camping and he had such
much fun having it.  We truly "roughed" it
and it was "true" experience.  
Ashton's Visit!
 These two were two peas in a pod!  They had so much fun!
My parents brought Ashton out and they stayed for 10 days!
We played hard!  The boys were up early EVERY morning,
I think 4:30 am was the record.  They would start making
lots of noise early. Then they would walk to the store with
grandpa every morning.  Grandpa gets the paper and of course
would buy the boys toys!  We camped for the first five
days, then we went to Wahooz's one day and we bowled, played
laser tag, mini golf and of course video games.  We went for a
bike ride on the Greenbelt one morning and had lunch by the
river.  I think Ashton's chain came off three times.  We rode
to Powell's candy shop and got a treat.  Then the day before they
left we went to Roaring Springs and they had a blast.  Though a storm
rolled in and we had to leave, but....it was still fun!  What a
great week!!
Olivia had fun too, but of course felt left out
at times when the boys wouldn't play with
her, but......she still smiled despite it all!
