Crazy Family Time

We recently spent a weekend with these two crazies. What can we say about family? Mostly how much we truly enjoy spending time with them. We don't slow down from our overly busy lives enough to just enjoy laughing, story telling, jokes, experiences, and just good ol' BS sitting around and doing nothing time. We had a great time with Anthon and Becky. We enjoyed the late night ATV rides too! ;) Nature at its best, eh? Need to do more of those--minus the mud cuz Anthon is a WILD man when it comes to mud! And next time let's try to find the other boot or maybe a new location for the one left behind!! Thanks for a relaxing and fun weekend guys. Let's do it again EVERY summer! BTW, we were on the very top of a HUGE rock plateau and it was POURING rain. Becky and I were frrreeeezzzzzing--even in August! We're glad our family is crazy--gives us something to laugh and smile about and makes for more fun times. We've never been good at boring and "normal"!!

Man's Work

Found these pictures on my camera and couldn't help but post them.  They are from when Easton was visiting and we had just come back from camping and atving. To refresh your memory, it rained ALOT while Easton was here so the atvs were very muddy.  He insisted on cleaning the little atv on his own. He's such a good helper when it comes to the dirty jobs!! Love you E, miss you tons, Grandpa needs your help getting his jobs done so hurry back!

Strawberry Scenery

The photos have not been altered in any way.  The darkness of the photos and clouds is real--that's what we dealt with while we were there.  Lots of rain, cold, wind, mud, storms blowing in and out, dark clouds and not much sunshine.  Some of the pics were taken from the inside of the truck because we drove around because of the rain.  We enjoyed our time tho.

Camping and Boating in Strawberry

The weather was very wet and cold during our trip but it didn't stop us at all.  We just "layered" up and headed out to have our fun.  These are just a few of the pics that we took.  Unfortuneately, I didn't get any of us riding the atv's because I didn't want to take my nice camera out in the rain and all the muck.  While we were on the atv's tho, we saw at least a dozen deer eating in the brush.  Wish I could have gotten some pics of them--they were sooooo close to where we were.  Let me just say that by the time we got off the atv's, our clothes had to go into garbage bags because we were covered in mud!  It was fun but seriously took LOTS of loads of laundry to get everything clean again.  I still need to go out and clean the carpet in the trailer--not sure if it will EVER come clean!!  Good times!! Good company!! Good memories!!

Just Call Me "Captain"

Introducing "Captain" Easton Barbeau--official boat pilot/driver.  He LOVED it!  He kept calling himself the captain and calling the boat the "party boat"!  Wow, he's CRAAAAAZZZZZZYYYY!!!
