We went camping this week. This was our fun and exciting moment. I was sitting outside our trailer with my mom who came out to have dinner with us and all of a sudden there was black smoke drifting our way. We saw black smoke coming from the boat docks and ran to see.
Apparently a man was fueling his boat with his two little girls on board when the boat suddenly caught fire. He threw his girls out of the boat to safety and then pushed the boat away from the dock to keep it from catching other boats and the dock on fire. The boat did eventually catch some of the dock on fire but not much was damaged as it was put out fairly quickly. It did take the firemen awhile to put out the fire though as it was tricky with the water, etc.
After the fire was put out the boat was towed to the launch area and as it was being winched out it caught on fire again. It was quickly put out again. The smell was awful from the burning boat but we tried to stay out of the smoke as best we could. The newspaper was going to use one of my pictures but ended up using one taken by the resorts owner. The newspaper man goes to my church so I'm going let him know I'm quite disappointed in him...LOL. Where's my 15 minutes of fame??

Every year my husband's employer puts on a family day. They rent rides, have booths with free goodies (kettle corn, popsicles, cotton candy, mini doughnuts, etc), put on a bbq, hire muscial entertainment, etc. The kids have a blast.
Ryan is the one upside down in the velcro suit on the left. It was so hot out the boys were parched and decided to get wet after this. Ryan went in the dunk tank but unfortunately I had no idea he was doing this otherwise I would have taken a picture.
Ryan is on the climbing wall making his retreat. Again, he didn't warn me he was on his way up and so I had to hurry to get the picture I did before he was done.

My Brand New Nephew!!
Graduation Party
Who is this guy? I think he was a party crasher...
This is my graduation cake made by my mother-in-law and a friend from church. It was so yummy!!
Here are friends and family enjoying the sun and my backyard.
Good friends of our Teresa and Jason who are talking with my husband Dave.
This is my other gradution cake. Isn't it cute? I thought it was very well done and such a surprise too.
My cousin Michelle and her family talking with me and my Dad in my backyard. I never did count how many guests but I'm sure we must have had about 60-75 people there. They neighbours commented on how 'large' our party was. I think they were glad it was during the afternoon and not into the evening.
