Big Chill

BIG CHILL, once again took place in Pennsylvania at our "camp" which is now HOME. 4 couples have been getting together for ...Oh....I don't know EXACTLY how many years, but I DO know that we have a group craft that is dated 2000 and that wasn't our first year...I know that for sure ! We like to FLOAT in the river

Sit by the campfire spot...maybe hitting golf balls across the river...or maybe JUST SITTING !

Like I said earlier...there is usually a CRAFT involved in the weekend...this year Diana came up with the idea of a rustic candleholder. The little candles were "imported" by Dave from a Canada trip. There were fun and will always remind us of the great weekend ! Wonderful idea Diana !!!

Just look at cute Diana...she's showing us HER craft in it's completion....It turned out GREAT, maybe even the BEST of everyones' !

Such a great weekend ! We hiked and had some great discussions over a campfire or two...we rested in the hammock, cooked some good food. And best of all, we were just TOGETHER! We talked about how we've been friends for 25 years...how lucky we are ! I think that we all look forward to BIG CHILL and seeing each other. After all, if you're lucky enough to have these people as friends for 25 years......You Are Lucky Enough ! Love you guys !!

SIX YEARS

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY you two ! Six years of growing, exploring, learning about yourselves as well as each other !

You are a great team.......

And the cutest little family !

We love you and wish you many happy journeys in the years ahead !!

What a difference a year makes !

Seriously, so much has happened in just ONE year.... Yes, Rick and I have gotten a little older, don't know if we're wiser, BUT we are BEYOND happy !!! Year, the end of July, our family gathered at CAMP in Pennsylvania for some family time. Missy was pregnant and we were all

excited about the new little person coming into our family......

Fast forward to this July...and we have TWO beautiful grandsons !!! Such fun at camp this year for our FAMILY "week"....

We "trucked" on over to the Emlenton Truck stop for Friday night fish fry. Best buddy, Jeff, met us there for dinner after driving from Columbus to be with us for the weekend. How fun to re-visit a favorite tradition ! Even little Levi and Grayer enjoyed it !

Little Grayer HAD to have his picture taken in our traditional picture tree ! His mom and dad

got in on the fun too ! This picture is definitely going to be showcased on our "camp" walls !

Such a cute little family !!

Levi got in on the fun, floating around and just chillin' in the river ! Another camp favorite !

He seemed to love it and can't wait til next summer when his cousin Grayer can float with him !

Speaking of Grayer....he loved hiking with us to the waterfall, and just having some relaxing time with family. It had been so incredibly hot in Tulsa, that he hadn't been able to be outside much this summer. Some wonderfully FRESH air and some cozy naps were Grayers favorites !

So....yes, what a year it's been...so many more pictures and adventures to share. We're so very

lucky to have such a wonderful place like "CAMP" to gather and enjoy our growing family !!
