Walsh Family Visit

The Walsh Family, (minus Dad & Mom, Josh and Missy) took some time out of their family vacation to visit with us a few days ago.  We had a great time of fellowship, activities and old fashioned fun.

Thanks for stopping by, you guys are such an encouragement!

We finally had the forethought to get a group picture before playing Ultimate Frisbee and getting all hot and sweaty. 





We also played a lively round of "poison ball".  James is sizing up his victims in this picture. :o)



We also enjoyed a couple of fun rounds of Catch-Phrase







Our "Twin" picture.  LtoR:  Kaity, Kate, Emily, Emmy, Anna, Anna.

Volleyball serves can be very intense! :o)


One of the winning teams.

Connor "hung around" Ben a lot...literally! :o)

Judging by this picture, I think it is safe to assume that Nathan enjoys the swing set that Brent put together for the kiddos.







I think my favorite part of the visit was at night, when all the stars came out and we gathered around the campfire, singing hymns, swapping funny stories and encouraging each other in the Lord.  What a blessed time it was!


Here is an easily recognizable constellation.  Do you know what it is?

That last constellation is the big dipper - it looks like you had a nice time.

I like the 4th picture of Eli- The tongue out the mouth really adds effect. - Reid

Wow! I look stupid there.
I have no idea why my tongue is hanging out!
