Fezzik

Now that we have officially gotten rid of Fezzik, how better to remember him than to take one final look at a mess that he left with us. Here is one vacuuming of Fezzik Fur.

Titus in a tree

Titus is fearless. I went to check on him in the back yard and he was up in the tree - about 10 feet higher than he was in these pictures.

Our trip to the Redwoods

Here we are next to a very large root. (It's actually a petrified mythological octopus)

Nate looks like he thinks its funny the tree fell over. Riley thinks it is shocking and terrible.


And the famous Colonel.

One of these kids is not like the others. Can you spot the one that doesn't belong? The extra kid is cousin Mike.

Why do we have a dog, again?

We have a grouchy neighbor so we have been leaving Fezzik in the laundry room when we go to church. However, one Sunday when we got home He had dug through the linoleum into the wood floor.



Well, another Sunday was unfortunately hot so we decided to do Fezzik a favor and leave him in the cool basement. When we got home he had clawed his way through the basement door.



Someone please remind me why we got a dog in the first place?

Fezzik and his girl

This is Fezzik and Zoe. Fezzik is 90 lbs and Zoe is 4 1/2 lbs. They tolerate each other.

Camping at Howarth Park

The kids keep asking us about camping at Hartstone this year. It brought up fun memories of our last camping trip with our sunday school group at Howarth Park.

Camping Trip at Boggs Mountain

From the left, Daddy, Titus, Josiah, Silas, Samuel, Elijah, Luke, and the burning picnic bench that we got in trouble for.

We experimented with letting Fezzik go for the first time in the wild. Surprisingly, he came back. This was real camping. The closest camper was about 3 miles away.

Titus wears mommies hat. If mommy was a real Proverbs 31 woman, she would have knitted that hat herself.
