Weekend Fun

This past weekend we went to western PA for some time with our friends, Pam and Daniel, and to attend the biannual Deets family reunion... We really enjoyed spending time with Daniel, Pam, and Jared and we also enjoyed seeing mom on Saturday. The reunion was okay, it would be a lot more fun if we actually knew our family! :) Friday we spent the day @ Pam and Daniel's house, and in the evening we visited Pam's brother and his family. They have two horses and a pony, lots of chickens, ducks, a tree frog, a rabbit, a dog, some cats... and they live in a beautiful spot in the country! :) All in all it is a kids paradise for running, roaming, and having lots of country fun!Bekah riding Banjo, Pam's brother and
sister-in-law's cantankerous pony.

Pretty flowers @ Jon and Heidi's

Water lilies... one of my favorite things! :)

Taking Lukie for a ride

Luke LOVED the pony and didn't want to get off... however, his mommy was a bit nervous because the pony has a history of bucking. When the pony started acting antsy, mommy
quickly pulled him off and "rescued" him. :)

More riding!

Philip's turn on Banjo (I don't have any of Abby
because she REFUSED to ride! :))

Clayton (Jon and Heidi's little guy) taking his 'cuz Jared for a ride (if you enlarge the pic you will see that Clayton was quite covered in mud... he appears to be 100% boy :))

This one is at Pam and Daniel's... it wasn't that hot, and it rained on and off during the day, but the kids still
thought they needed to get wet! :)
Evidently playing is depressing. :)

Abby and Jared "sharing" :)

Flowers @ Pam's house

Last but not least, I took this pic of mom and Abby on Saturday...
I love it! It is unusual anymore to get Abby
to look normal for the camera. :)
