Here are some photos from our summer vacation. They still don't cover all of the wonderful activities we participated in, but it gives you an idea of the fun we had! Maybe I'll check out the photos on Aspen Grove's webiste and include them here. I know Mom Ripp took some fun photos during Frontier Night on the field, that I wouldn't mind having copies of. :) Hint, hint.
Matt and Raquel at the family dance, last night there
Interesting butterfly/moth thing that resembled a humming bird
That tiny spec is a helicopter carrying a bucket of river water.

Kaitlyn is standing in her towel by the chair in the middle of the photo, talking to Adam who is in the baby pool just to the right of her.
"Daddy, taste my finger!" Okay, Raquel didn't really say that, but isn't she cute and doesn't it look like she's having fun?
Aspen Follies--games on the field
The water was cold! Matt was a willing volunteer to get in the bucket.
A puddle of water--what could be more fun?

Looks like you all had a lot of fun! I am glad to hear that your travels were safe. I hope that things are going well with your pregnancy as it is nearing the finish line. How fun it is to have kids at about the same age. Things are going pretty smoothly considering!
Wow, lots of great pictures! Lookss like you all had a great time. I've heard great stuff about Aspen Grove, but have never seen pictures. And at least there are a few of the prego mama! You look darling, Mags! I can't believe you're having #4! How did we get old enough to have so many kids? Thanks for your comment on my blog ... I'll come and comment on yours if you do the same for me. hee hee. Although you're going to have you hands full (literally) with a new baby very soon! I had my membranes stripped with Michael on a Friday afternoon and he was born Saturday at 5:30 am, so I hope it works that well for you, too! Good luck and post some beautiful pictures soon!
Yes for Aspen Grove! It's so nice to know we'll all be able to get together at least every 2 years (well, and weddings. Good thing we have weddings).
We had so much fun with you guys and your always entertaining children. I love it.
I miss Aspen Grove. It looks like so much fun.
