Putting on a show for our visitors

I forgot to add this picture from Saturday night after the baptism party. Ethan was very proud of his cup tower. Sunday after church we decided to take the grandparents up to Todd lake for a picnic and walk around the lake.

Sandra enjoyed dipping her toes in the water
and the kids chased after and gathered tadpoles
lots of 'em
The meadow flowers were so pretty

...and then Brad and Ethan caught a snake... of course

It was a perfect day to be up at the lake

Star had a fun (and very dirty) time too and zonked out on the way home

Sunday night the kids put on a little talent/variety show which was fun.

Mother nature put on an amazing show as well

The sky was beautiful

Star didn't like the thunder though...

Monday Sandra had to fly home in the morning, and in the afternoon we took mom and Karl out to Paulina falls, the Obsidian flow and McKay campground.

Here are the falls, but I didn't take any other pictures since we already have plenty of other pics in these places.

Mom's camera has all the pictures from the obsidian flow and the McKay campground waterfall, and I didn't remember to take them off her camera before she left :(

I DID however get this clip of Karl taking a shower:

While our visitors were here we also played alot of hands of these two games. They are both so fun and we highly recommend them.

and tried to show them a good time by not beating them too badly.
I'm not sure what we did Tuesday (although I'm sure it involved a few hands of cards), then Wednesday was the youth waterski trip (later post) and when we got home we headed out to "Meadow Camp" (where we take everyone) for a cookout

Sadly our last visitors had to leave, but it was great to spend some time together while we could and hope they enjoyed our Central Oregon show.
