A few more pictures from Israel.

Our trip began in Telavive and the second night we spent in Nazareth. We then went on to the Sea of Galilee and finished going through the desert and spending three days in Jerusalem. Here is a picture of the Valley of Armagedon, a view of the Sea of Galilee from the top of the Golan Heights, and Alan and Steve riding a camel in Jerusalem.

Home from Israel

We had a wonderful time in Israel. It was a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget. I am only posting a few pictures but we will be happy share all of our pictures with anyone who has a desire to see them. These pictures are from our last day. The first is from the top of the Mount of Olives looking down on Jerusalem, the second is at the Garden of Gethsemane, and the third is the Garden Tomb.

Joelle Can Wakeboard!

Last Saturday Joelle decided to try wake boarding. With the help of our friend Whitney Anderson, she got up on her second try! She is pretty proud of getting up so fast and at such a young age. Way to go Joelle!

Summer means...Boating and Fishing

Last week we got out on the river for the first time. Joelle is loving her new kneeboard and is getting really good at going in and out of the wake.

Wyatt and Lydia stayed at our house for a few days. While they were hear they got to go out in the boat and go fishing with Grandpa. Wyatt was so excited that they caught a fish and Lydia really liked eating it! After she got home she told her mom, "Did you know you can get meat from a fish?"

Happy Birthday!!!

Joelle had a great birthday. Sunday Robbie made Trifle. Monday Lydia and Wyatt escorted her to McKees to see the petting zoo. Joelle bought some cool sun glasses with her birthday money and we got Lydia some too. then we went to China City. Tuesday Joelle got a kneeboard with a hook. Boating season is just around the corner.

Let the Fishing Begin

The Declo 5th grade had a fishing field trip. They toured the Hagerman State Fish Hatcherie and then were able to fish in some ponds that had just been stocked with fish. Joelle, with the help of Alan, caught 2 fish , they were nice trout but we gave them away to some of our neighbors who had not been so lucky.

Who's that with a Falshy red car?
