Having a bite to eat at our picnic

Asher was having a wafer...and about to fall alseep...it was a long day for him. Note the sand on his forhead...it was a lot of work building that pond and river...Pictured further on.

Pizza on the face and a giant marshmallow in the mouth...picnic...a success.

Hannah having some pizza...

Is that good watermelon?

Yep! finger lickin' good!

Playing on the playground

Brandon was making sure there was a picture of me at the park...

It's a Hannah fish in a yellow tank :-)

It's a Hannah monkey...where are we anyway the Hannah ZOO?

Hannah is one with the wind

Emma is going to touch the sky just wait and see

She's gotta take her monkey with her

I knew it...she'd go way up high

I just hope she doesn't fly away:-)

Ben, are you swinging or falling? I can't tell!

Ben's getting ready for an underdog push

good push Ben

Ben and Emma hangin around :-)

Alright Asher, one more underdog

Sometimes Ben is such a great big brother...and sometimes.... he just a big brother

I'm going to fall...help me!

I think I can I think I can I think I can

Look mom, I'm doeen it!

Yeah! I did it!

Let's go feed the ducks!!!!

Where's the ducks?

There's one out there said Hannah!

Emma sees one too!

I think Ben might have pinged one on the tail feathers!

The ducks are in the water Asher!

There they are...

Yeah! He got the bread!

One last handfull of crumbs to go

The bread is all gone! Let's head back and go see the bridge!

Hey kids...wait for me! Ya right...they left me in their dust.

Taking a pit stop

Ben was climbing the fence by the porta-potties

Monkey see monkey do

Emma found some baby mushrooms...she was so proud!

Can we walk on the bridge, Please...Please....Please!!!!

Grandma Gayle was pointing out an enormous Albino Trout...it looked to be at least 2 ft. long and mighty fat.

The kids were just taking it all in...it was such an amazing day...the duck diving was quite entertaining...

Grandma Gayle keeping Asher on a "leash"...he couldn't quite get close enough to the water!

I guess Loitering here was okay

Ben being a poser
"Come on guys...let's go to the beach and get in the water."

Emma's little piggies

Gayle and Brandon heading to the Bridge

We decided if this house ever goes up for sale we wouldn' t mind having it...after all, waterfront property can't be beat...even if the water is Salem Pond!

Asher sure was eyeing the water!

Had to check out the running water of the place

We just had to see the running water making a "river" going down the hill.

There's just nothing like cold water to draw a child in.

Yep, especially this one...if there is water there is Asher.

Ben didn't think he'd ever get to get in the water

Ben was like a bull in a china closet...couldn't wait to get in and was all over the place

This was his first "test" of the water...I guess it passed!

We didn't go intending to get wet...so they rolled up their shorts...in the end...it was in vain!

Ben wanted to find treasure in the water...is that gold Ben?

He kept getting deeper and deeper till his shirt was wet too...oh well, they had a blast.
What a memorable experience!
