Fire. Hot dogs, Marshmallows

This evening we went out to Ray and Patts to burn limbs.

Front Yard Fishing

For Father's Day I bought Travis (really, the kids) fishing poles. Spiderman for Truman and Disney Princesses for Amelia. Last night Travis and Ray helped them learn to cast.

Father's Day and Dad's Birthday Party

Sunday afternoon Ashley and Tanner's families came up to Mom and Dad's to celebrate Father's Day and Dad's birthday. We swam, ate supper, played.

Paying in Forward in Oklahoma

Last Saturday, a group of us went to Oklahoma to help in the OKC area after the tornadoes and flooding they've had recently. We worked with Samaritan's Purse and helped a local farmer/rancher to clean up after some flooding. We cleared branches and flood debris and rebuilt his fence.

 Around noon a storm rolled in, so we took a lunch break. It was a nice break in the rain.

 At the end of each volunteer job, Samaritan's purse gives a Bible to who was being helped.

 After we finished working, we went into Moore to see some of the tornado damage. We drove around a bit. It was eerie, heartbreaking, quiet.
