whinnie lounging around

Well,well,well,now that we are connected to the world we've decided to show you about our little friend.This little gal flew into the Anderson home this morning. She was pretty flustered and kept running into things but we finally caught her. She was pretty tired and we had to feed her by hand for a little while. She was up at the top of the ceilng and Aunt Sarah ad to bring in a ladder. Talk about a wee bit scary.

Father's Day Weekend Extravaganza!

The 2nd annual Father's Day weekend at Farrish Lake on the Air Force Academy was a great time had by all. We enjoyed baking ourselves in the Colorado sun until we were all very well done, laughing until our bellys ached, and fishing from sun up (5 am) until sun down (10 pm)-there are no time restrictions. I would guess that our group of 13 kids caught at least 25 fish. We kept 9, and had them for dinner Saturday night. As always we had a fabulous time. I thank God for our friends that have become our family away from home.
