More fun at the Gorge...

So, I still don't know how to put the pics in the order I want--but you'll get the idea.

They sunk the van--Matt N. (That's for you Nate--he wanted me to be sure and let people know it wasn't him--this time at least:)). The boys (older ones) didn't think my Suburban could do the job. Ha! I pulled the entire van and trailer out--no problem at all.
It's a good thing for them that my sweetheart Matt made sure I had everything ready to go before I left. He put air in the tires, changed the oil, and made sure I had a star wrench, jumper cables, tow rope, and fire extinguisher! I only had to use the tow rope :)
Look at the Suburban go!

Ben and Me finding a good place to attach the tow rope.

They did try pushing it first

Look at how deep it is!!

This was the first time it got stuck--they got this one out without the help of my Suburban.

A side note on the life jackets--their were mostly only little kid ones--so the big boys wore them anyway. They looked so funny!

Jared, Ryan, Meagan, Jason, Ben, Allison, Sam, David

Sam showing off her lovely glasses.

Kevin still lets us all know that Sam is his sister. :)

Gretchen, Me, Kevin

Soooooooo much fun!
I texted this one to Matt and let him know we were missing him :):)

Gretchen fell doing a good deed in the morning, so she has a hurt hand and a black eye! Ouch!

Kevin and Nate

How awesome it is for my boys to have such good role models of older boys.

They all take such good care of my boys--and set great examples for them.

We really had so much fun with the Northcotts. If my computer didn't take so long to download pics, I would have tons more on here for your enjoyment.
