I am so far behind on my blog, it's tempting to throw in the towel. But don't worry, this also serves as my photo album/scrapbook so I HAVE to keep going. We had a nice big 2 week chunk of time in August that we got to spend in McCall. It was fantastic to settle into mountain life in a small town. Before we left we attended the wedding of Jesses cousin Hannah. She married Juan and it was great!
Don't let that innocent face fool you!
Cousin Anna was there, in her highchair on the dance floor.
I'm pretty sure Delaney skipped dinner and went straight in for some cake.
Now that Quinn is walking she is so happy. Especially when there is a dancefloor.
I think we had to give her a binky because she was throwing a fit because speeches were happening and she couldn't hit the dancefloor.
Okay - on to McCall! KK and Papa Jim met us for a week at the lake. We did lots and lots of fun things. My huckleberry spot produced yet again!
It's nice to have a few extra fingers to pick. Downside is they get bored FAST.
KK made a wonderful pie out of our pickings.
Showing us her pie...
And how to eat it without a fork.
We got to see lots of friends while we were in McCall. Ava came over for a playdate one day and Marly and her family hit the beach with us too. 3 kindergartners!
One evening we went to Roseberry to their little free concert night. The hit for the kids was seeing the cows up close and personal.
The cows were thrilled.
Beautiful evening in the valley.
The Bryans joined us too.
Somehow Erin ended up at the kid table. 6 kids between the 2 of us!
Quinn loves her new mobility.
Maybe next year little one.
Quinn HATES when Meredith picks her up. I'm pretty sure the neighbors think we have some sort of torture chamber at our house. Lots and lots of screaming...
God help us when they are teenagers
Trying for a 'jump' picture. Delaney doing her own thing...not uncommon!
Poor Thomas...didn't quite make the shot.
We ventured down the road to the wood boat show. I fell in love and have decided having a wooden boat will be my retirement activity. Boating, cocktails and fancy parties? Done!
I told you we were busy - we even went for a hike. All 10 of us!
Ava and Meredith ran most of the way.
Jesse and Noah mostly carried kids
Playing in a little creek along the way. I so remember doing this when I was little.
Looks like Jesse is getting ready to yell at me! Probably for handing him another kid to carry.
Quinn and Thomas, 5 months apart.
The troops. I think Thomas is going to loooove having older sisters when he's a bit older!
Thanks Jesse!
Random shot of the girls waiting to get their hair cut.
We had a lovely stay in McCall and it's been a shock to the system to be back in the 100 degree heat...
