Jul. 27, 2009 Our Church Hike
A couple of weeks ago our church went on a hike after church on Sunday. The F. family wasn't able to come because they were at home with their new baby girl, but everyone else was there and we had a lovely time. Here are some pictures from the day. (Sorry about the blurriness... there seems to be something wrong with our camera)
 Here are Zeb, Zach, and Josiah starting out on the hike.

 Here come the adults!
 Amy with a little cutie who kept asking if I was Mary Poppins
 Aren't they both so cute???!!!

And then everyone waited around for a while... 
Until the parents decided that we would go and play some games and have icecream. All of the dads went to get the icecream, and they were soon back lugging four icecream containers, a selection of icecream cones, water, an icecream scoop, ect. Of course everyone enjoyed the icecream very much.
And while we were there, guess what someone spotted?! That, my friends, is a swarm of honeybees. You can't see the whole thing, but that unsightly brown spot on the building is a bunch of bees.
 Picking teams for Ultimate Frisbee
 "Let's see, do we choose the best people first, or the littlest people first..." 
 Of course, some people prefer to be part of the audience. (This young lady turned 15 yesterday! Happy Birthday Lieren!)
 I spent the game visiting with this little guy (He just turned two) and
 this little girl and this little guy. Together we had lots of fun.
And that was the end of a perfectly wonderful day. :-)

Yes, ladies and gents, I am now (drumroll please) 20 years old! :-) Here are a few pictures from my birthday.
 Here is Kay on my Birthday Hike
 Dad and I 'living on the edge'... ok, not really.
 Dad and I posing for a birthday picture
 Yes, I just calmly took a picture as my siblings fought to get back to the top of the cliff.
 Siblings...
 ... Aren't they wonderful?
 Amy is *Ahem!* very observant... right here she is noticing a bird flying overhead...
 Dad and his Penny Whistle. The sound was great outside. ;-)
 Lest any of you have a conniption fit, I will clue you in... the 'edge' of the 'cliff' slopes gently down at a very easy grade to the level below. Kay is perfectly safe, and all of those 'falling off the cliff' pictures were staged. No children were hurt during the taking of these pictures.
 The beautiful view... this is why I love CT! Isn't it lovely?!
 Our camera has focusing issues... here we are (minus Kay)
 Me on my birthday night being sung to... Mom made a special gluten and lactose free berry crumble. It was delicious!
 Opening presents... I got some really great books, snacks, and other stuff. :-)
