Setting the tables,

juuust right. Ribbons are tied!!

A couple of sugar cubes :)

The man with the plan.

I think the final count was 40 gallons of punch!!

or was it 80 :)

Amadu with the "Star of the Show".

(He's so sweet with her.)

Heidi was the "Artist" and made all the signs,

and did a Grand job.

Sweety chunky baby, loving on her momma.

Lots and lots and lots of yummy red grapes.

Painting the stage.

Grandma's turn to enjoy the "Star of the Show".

Lots and lots and lots of yummy green grapes :)

Mommas are working hard,

drinking java and enjoying each others company.

Isn't she too sweet? Hannah and Heidi (cousins)

(They worked so hard and were such a blessing.)

(We loved meeting you both.)

These are decorations for the Lime and Cinnamon soap (also Lavendar),

which were gifts for all the guests.

(Made by Amy)

Precious Friends.

(Mary and Adama)

Having a little time out from work,

and enjoying some fun.

(Actually the work was fun, too.)

Great job, Hannah!!
Setting up these tents was a huge job.

The six sisters :)

(Ok, mom is in this too, but I bet you can't pick her out!)

Stay tuned for

"The Rehearsal"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA!!

We Love You So Much!!!

From your Children:)

(Bigger post coming....)

Through The River and Into the Woods :)

And heeere we go,

5 ladies in a truck.

We never take pictures until we get out of

the "flat land" that we look at EACH and EVERY DAY!!

Enjoying the beauty of God's magnificent creation.The New River Gorge.

(The last time we visited here was in a 30 ft. RV hanging off of a cliff!)

(This time it's much more relaxing, but not quite as adventurous :)

Dreaming of jumping in.....
the rapids.
Sweetie Pie

Tranquility

Power and Beauty

Here I go?!?!

We made our 12oo+ mile trek in one piece,

and are so happy to see our far away friends.

The Pockett Sisters,

so glad to be reunited.

The Camo Pockett Sisters Photo Shoot.

Hope the "Hollow" wood floor holds!!

Pure Gold

I guess the photo shoot is over.

On to the next adventure.Over and under,

up and down,

Here we go,

round and round.

Some of the crew (No names ;)) did not realize

while walking under the Erie Canal that there was an area to get

off of the road when cars are coming,

as it is pitch dark,

so needless to say, when they saw cars coming,

they ran for their lives,

all the way through the tunnel!!And this is the result!!Now that everyone is revived,

let's continue.How bout climbing the tower? The spiral staircase at the top was just big enough for one person

to get through,

and you couldn't see a thing while you were climbing.

Having a little sunset snack. Now this is what we call a snack.

Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Dart for a grand day (and night).

They finally get to meet the famous Ronald. They're extremely excited to meet him or something!

A friend is a treasure,

that lasts forever.

What a blessed time.

The Garden of Weedin.

(Since the weather is in the 90's,

Adama could not work without her trusty umbrella,

for fear of sun stroke :)

Let's make some sugar coated, sugar truffles. You know what happens when you eat too much sugar, don't you?

Real strange things!!
This could get scary.

Yep, SCARY!!

As things get a little carried away,

Monte Cristo tries to seranade them to calm their spirits.

Looking better,

a more calm look.

I guess all "calm" things must come to an end.It was quite warm while in the fields of NY,

so this nice refreshing stream, river, body of water looks very inviting.So they invited themselves and jumped right in. The foolishness has got to end sometime.

Nothing but seriousness from now on, serious we say.

Well being all seriously glum is absolutely no fun,

so nevermind about all that.

We shall continue being happy and all good things that come with it.

This is in the pond,

20 feet deep,

with bubbling creatures that come out at night,

that only a momma can hear.

(There in there I tell you!!)

Stay tuned for the next episode of our adventure,

Is that wedding bells I hear?
