Family Fun

Friday we met up with Jared's brother Nate and his family, along with Jared's parents, and went out to eat.  We went swimming after dinner, which the kids all loved!  I think they must be part fish :)

Then we had ice cream cake and celebrated Morgen's birthday (a little bit late). 

Here's my favorite picture from their Uintah backpacking trip:

They ended up leaving a day early, even though the fishing was pretty good.  There were too many mosquitoes, and not enough DEET spray to scare the nasty bloodsuckers away. 

Gratitude List:
* Family who will make time to visit with us at the last minute :)
* Kids who like to play with their much younger cousins.
* good food
* portable knitting projects
* Everyone is reasonably healthy and happy, and admits that they had a good time.
* Puppies! 

* Faith in God and His plan for me.
* Good music :)
