Steve's 60th Birthday

I can't believe I'm married to a 60 year old!  (Elaine, I can't believe you have a 60 year old son!)
Lots of party pictures.









Edie's 2nd Birthday & Thanksgiving

Edies' birthday was the day before Thanksgiving this year so we had her party after the turkey.  She thought the whole day was for her!  I love to see men in the kitchen.

Echo Bluff State Park

We took the RV and headed to Missouri's newest state park in October.  Very beautiful area and great park!  Here is Round Springs.  The blue color of the water was awesome.

It wouldn't be much of a trip without finding a geocache!

Beautiful scenery.

This would be a great place to come in the summer with the creek running right behind the campground.

The have a lodge that serves 3 meals a day, hotel rooms and cabins.

They also have wild horses in the area and we saw them one evening.

The bluffs.

Last but not least.  Ate a great dessert as we sat out on the patio overlooking the bluffs.

Zoo 2016

It's hard to take photos when you have 7 kiddos and only 2 adults watching them and the zoo is packed! So I'm happy that a few of the pictures came out ok!





So far behind


I'm so far behind in blogging!  Here are some pictures from our trip in September to Cape Cod with Mike and his family.  Catherine's Grandpa is still a lot bigger than her so he can pick her up and swing her around still!

Hiking at Fort Hill in Eastham.
 
Hiding from Mom.

Taking a tumble in the mud.

Heated pools are great!

Sitting in front of the fire after swimming.

Walking to Dormans to go boating.

Preparing the boats.

The 2nd boat preparing to shove off.


While they boated Steve and I hiked.

I took the kids to Chatham one day to  look for seals.

In the distance to the far right, you can see lots and lots of seals.

Hiking in Brewster.

Mud flats.
