Memorial Day Weekend 2009

What a fun weekend we had with

Aunt Tana and her boyfriend Ron visiting us.

First stop, Taylos Falls to do some hiking

We discoverd that Sierra was quite the little

hiker and rock climber. No back pack for her.

Wonder what it will be like at Estes Park in the fall.

Nothing like a good grill out after a day of hiking.

The girls sitting around the campfire

while the guys were away fishing.

Our fishermen. 2nd day out was better than

the first but any day fishing is good.

Can their ever be enough roasting

marshmallows and making smores?

Grandpa Groat how could you say no smores to this face

even though they are all over it?

Fun family time around the fire.

Our sweet little gals...well most of the time that is.

Sierra is a little ham most of the time for the

camera.

Karlee isn't too sure about actually looking at

the camera.

Garden planting for the year - green beans, peas,

carrots, lettuce and tomatos. Going to plant corn,

pumpkins and zuchinni over at grandparents.


Packer is fitting right in with the family. Only trouble is

he keeps taking Magnet's ball.

We are having a lot of company over the next

month or so, so we decided to replace the downstairs

shower door. Only problem was none of the wall

were squared. Turned into quite the project.

Spring 2009 Turkey Hunt

Brother Todd got the 1st turkey of the season on the 2nd day.

Weighed 22 lbs with a 10 inch beard.

Brother Larry got the 2nd bird and Todd got the 3rd,

both on 3rd day. Larry's weighed 15 lbs

with a 10 1/4 inch beard and

Todd's weighed 25 lbs with a 10 inch beard

and 1 1/2 inch spurs.

All and all a great season and should have some

beautiful turkey fans for the walls.
