5.4 Earthquake

Everyone has a story about their lives to tell and a story about where they were, when a really big earthquake came. But was it the perfect spot? Yes, we were in the perfect spot as Bryce would say when it hit, on the lake. I can't tell you, how much I hate earthquakes, believe me my parents know for raising me. But here I find myself as the parent, the protector, the role model and in the midst of one of my biggest fears. But hey, we were in the perfect place. With Ann and her 6 kids, 3 of her own and 3 of a wonderful blessed family with parents on their way to adopt a little guy in Russia. It was the perfect spot. I noticed a little rumbling in the condos being us as we stood on the dock, then the waves started to form in the lake, the ducks went nuts and well, the earth was making a move. I can't tell you how proud of us we all where, no scream, no tears, just us and the adventurous kids. Thank you Lord for protecting us all, hearts, bodies, mind and souls. It was a great day on the lake...

Hard to believe that this little doll is only 12 month older than Bryce

Friends forever Charlie trying to catch a fish Waiting for her turn The kids really did'nt believe me when I said the the waterfall was blue, it really was. It was do to the chemicals placed in it to care for the lake, but was a pretty sight. Water fun anyone? With the warm summer afternoons, we have been enjoying some wonderful time on the deck over looking the lake. As well as enjoying Bryce's time in her little ( I really mean little) pool. I tried to post this weekend about her and this cute new bikini. I did all the hard work and wosh, no where to be found. Anyways, this is Bryce's first 2 piece since she was 9 month only on the shores of Hawaii. As I was putting it on her, she was pulling, tugging, just trying ot make those ends meet between her tummy and bottoms. Not going to happen! Then I explaid, this was a suit like Charlotte's and that it was ok (for now as her Daddy would say), enjoy yourself in the pool. I know your pool is small, but that's not it...
