Sunday Fun

Sam and Seth's wedding was today in Peoria and the church was packed. It was a beautiful wedding service almost more for us old married folks than the one's getting married. After church, before leaving for the reception Rhoda came over to check out the new mares and take the dogs swimming in Diane's pond.

They had so much fun bouncing in and out of the water. Mark took mom to Norris for the big Herman fish fry while I drove to the reception.

Samantha made a beautiful bride. Then it was back to Hanna City to pick up Rhoda and head out to Middle Grove. We arrived just as Dan and Susan were loading up to head over to the dock.

Rhoda and Dan took some of the kids tubing while we floated around in the very refreshing clear clean water. Most of us soon loaded into the pontoon for a boat ride.

Andrew is on the jet ski ready to pull his dad up water skiing.

Below he is up and filling the air with water.

Andrew soon traded places and drenched us on the boat by skiing right next to us.

Below he is making so much water fly into the air we can barely see Andrew.

Sophie is contemplating life as she takes a nice quiet boat ride.

Ebby has her own spot at the back of the boat.

Irelyn enjoyed the ride.

On the way back Abrahm was having fun making huge water bubbles in the front of the boat.

As the 96 degree hot sunny day started to slowly cool down by evening we made our way back by 4 wheeler. We drove up to see the horses lined up on the hill side watching for us.

Karin drives the 4 wheeler right up to them and instead of running they quickly surround us all wanting attention.

By the time we made it back to the campground it was time to build a fire for dinner. Abrahm caught this nice big craw-dad.

Karin showed them how to cook it on a stick over the fire.

Dan grilled hamburgers while the rest of us pulled out the bacon.

When the cooking was done Rhoda and Sophie brought down more wood.

They brought enough wood down to last the night.
