With only a few weeks left in the summer we wanted to be outside 
in the sun so went to the most amazing place up in the beautiful 
mountains of Alpine. It is called SLIDING ROCK, a natural spring that 
you slide down like a huge water slide. The water is clear as can be but
freezing cold.  

Gavin was not so sure about going down this slide but once he tried it 
he got way into it as you can see from this picture. It has been fun seeing 
him sport his cool teenage attitude, we love spending time with our G-man,
he is constantly trying to makes us smile on a daily basis.


WOW look at that mouth she was screaming with delight, right?
Kayla is always the one to let us know how much fun she is or not 
having. Fortunately she was having fun and has been back three 
times to sliding rock since we first went.  We love being able to spend 
time with this fun loving girl.

Even after watching the others go down Hannah looks terrified I 
am sure the cold cold water had something to do with it. She did 
like going down though and kept hiking back up to go again and 
again. Pretty sure the fact she loves being in the water had nothing 
to do with her having to show the others she could do this. We love 
the confidence she has gained from being on swim team. She beams 
when swimming or water is mentioned. Love seeing her in her
comfort zone, she is a happy girl!!!


                     
           Kayla and our Kinzie having fun going down together. 
     These two have way too much fun. It is great to see 
                                           and be a part of!! We love having Kinzie around.                                                                
                                         Here Connor is enjoying watching everyone go down the
                                         slide. He did go down the slide with Darren and liked it
                                         but was freezing cold so he decided to sit in the sun. He
                                         is always trying to keep up with the older kids. It is fun
                                         to watch him try just about anything they do!!!






                                         

                                 My sister-in-law took some pictures for us....
The music this girl plays on her guitar is quite impressive.

  Our sweet Hannah.



One handsome boy!!!
