"Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls"

Andrew trying to catch a fish after the canyon was washed out?!




I snapped this while we were both moving trying not to wreck.

Andrew, Tanner, and I went on a 4-wheeler and motorcycle ride up to the waterfall to check out the scenery and try to go fishing. Little did we know that it was all washed out and really muddy and yucky. It's a good thing I decided against taking Benson.
It takes some time getting out there and you can't ride all the way to the end, you have to hike into it (unless you have some power machines, which we didn't). After being there for maybe 15 minutes I looked up and saw the sky getting dark and told Andrew it looked like a storm was coming (Andrew and I got suck out there in a rain storm before, not fun) and that we better get going. He wanted to cast a few more times -determined to chatch something. So I picked up Tanner and headed up the hill. Andrew caught up with us and we got on the bikes and headed back. No sooner than we parked it started to down pour. Talk about perfect timing!!

Rough life
Tanner balancing on grandpa. My dad used to do this to my siblings and me when we were little and we thought it was the coolest thing. He would even put two of us up, one kid in each hand.
Suzanne, another friend since I was five came to visit while we were both in town for the 24th weekend festivities.

Benson's Blessing

My dad, me, Benson, and Grandpa (Four generations)
My side of the family that was there

Benson wasn't happy unless his binky was in so it was either these or him crying!

Because Andrew's family was all getting together for Eric's wedding out west, we decided we would just bless Benson out there as well since all the family would already be getting together and we wouldn't have any family in Nebraska. So it worked out well. Baby blessing then a wedding!
