The Blessing of Memorial Day with Good Friends!

We were SOOOO blessed by many dear friends coming out to spend the day with us!

(Five families represented including Richie and Lydia!) 

We had SOOOO much fun!

THANK YOU, each and every one!

Kyle (and Timmy ;-) giving the lawn one more mowing just before the guests arrive!

Kyle makes quick work of it with his "Kyle's Clipper" commercial mower!

This was Timmy's first "ride!"  I think it was FUN for him!

 Getting ready to give thanks to God for all His blessings, provisions,
and for all those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.

 A few of the young ladies gathered together at lunchtime . . .

 It was such a lovely day!

Perfect really!

The kids getting ready for the first balloon fight!

 Just a few of the day's volleyball players. . .

 This is what Joe would rather do . . .



Sweet baby Autumn fascinated with the beads in Brielle's hair!

 It's always really hard to pick what volleyball photos to put on the blog.

I end up taking a lot!

I thought this one had some interesting action going on!

 A few of the ladies picking teams?

 Awwww . . . the Bowes Daddy got picked first! ;-)

 Victoria and Timmy practicing their grass whistles. ;-)

 Dynamite!

 Uh oh . . .what is going on here?

Should we feel sorry for him?

Or is it pay-back time?!

 Now for the "Age and Treachery" team (the dads) to show off!  ; -)

 They did awesome!  Good job, dads!!!

What a fun day!

Thank you so much, dear friends,

for blessing us so much!!!!
