The big Fathers and Sons outing was this weekend. Other than Aaron wandering off and a bunch of us searching for him for 1/2 hour, finding him alone in the woods a few hundred yards away, it went just great. Sheesh. Freaked me out!! It's a great time to camp when it's around 100 degrees and everyone is sticking to their sleeping bags. ha. The boys somehow just love it. ??

Alex's 4th birthday! Nice buddy.
Alex was so pumped to have Aunt Michelle all
the way from Portland to hang for the birthday.

A little wiener roast and smores in the back.

Man Down

Saturday Tyler left to go surf with his brother Jared. He left at 9:00 a.m. He should be returning around 11:00 a.m. Right? Wrong! Tyler was gone for less than 20 minutes when the phone rang. If Tyler calls me in the middle of a surf, it's never good. Turns out he biffed it pretty bad on a wave and lightly tore his MCL in his left knee. Looks like I will have 8 children instead of 7 for a bit, rats! By the way Tyler, the surf report said waves were 2-3 feet on Saturday, not 20 ft plus. Nice try!
