Fireworks Backfired

Last Monday we had another fire scare. While this view doesn't show the real damage, 52 pine trees that gave Pine Ridge its name were burned. To see the action view this video link:

Finding Fairies

By walking VERY quietly we were able to sneak up close to two fairies hiding under the leaves for a picnic. Always keep your eyes open for fairies in the undergrowth.

We think we spy a fairy but they are very tiny.

Last summer we girls took a fairy hike and saw signs of fairies in the area. This summer we decided to conduct a thorough investigation. We believe this to be a fairy hideaway that we found in Great Grandma & Great Grandpa's driveway.

Just Sitting

Sammy, Maddy, and Papa Jim. Carter now thinks Jim's name is Papa and talks about going up the long hill to Papa's house.

Fireworks

Cara and Maddy light sparklers for Mia, McKell, Austin, Jacob and Carter. Fireworks were but a glimpse of fire to come.

Activity Court

Isaac Morgan, Will Dahl and Caleb Batty having a good time on the activity court. The daddys played basketball in the back.

Picnic on the 4th

Food always brings the family together. We are so glad the whole Barker Family (John and Jan) could join us.
