LABOR DAY FAMILY FUN!

Okay so Autumn covered most of the pictures for the week end so I won't try to put the same ones so what I am going to do is share some thoughts.

So here is the story.....I have had so many good years skiing and now I can't do it so it is really hard to watch everyone doing what I love so much..I really miss the rush of a good ski on nice glassy water....but oh well memories will have to do.....so here is what I do now I have my nifty wave runner not quite the same rush but lots of fun.

So what does one do when not on the toys .....we swim and stay cool!
Or you might just jump on the toy and go see what the young folks are doing......
Yah it's Melissa learning to wake board go Melissa!
And then there is Kenzie doing a good job.....and yes it is fun to ride along and and scare them and have fun with the wake......
Here is the parting shot.....Autumn took this one I just love it....nothing finer than fishing with Grandpa....Hunter was really excited to catch fish.....so this is what it is all about .....it's about family being together and having fun and making memories....doesn't get better than that. Love you guys it was a great weekend!

New member of the family....yah Johnny's wedding!

Here is the building where we were .....it is a wedding manor really beautiful with lots of tropicals, waterfalls, nice patio.....really pretty!
This is where the ceremony took place....Shayla came down the stairs really a beautiful bride.
Wedding cake really pretty however I pigged out on the pastries yummy!
Now this is one of the most interesting features of the wedding.....people that came put their cards in the bird cage which probably had money gifts in them....so here is the interesting part....a women came in and signed the register then went to the bird cage and took out all the cards and put them in her purse and walked out! Fortunately someone noticed her and they ran out and caught her and called the police....so she ended up in the own personal bird cage...JAIL....good thing she was caught because there was a sizeable amount of money that our new couple would have lost!
Here is Mr. & Mrs John Daniel Peterson Jr. Very happy couple!
And here is none other than the proud parents you know the ones that have to pick up the tab!lol
This one I couldn't resist....this stole the show she was so beautiful don't you agree!
and of course the old folks aaahhhh!
We were served dinner....boy was it good and dessert was even better we all went on a sugar high! Sure won't tell my doctor.
And always when there is a gathering we have to have the sibling picture ! another aaahhhh!

Jasper can swim......yah!

Okay so here is the story......Randy and Carrie went to California and left Melissa and me in charge of good ole Jasper.....well Jasper leads a kinda sheltered life so we thought it would be cool to introduce him to the lake and a good swim so we loaded him in the truck and headed for the lake......well he has never ridden in the back of a pickup so I sat with him....my gosh I felt like an Indian lol....he was nervous but did fine sucking up his drooling etc. then he got a little more nervous and peed....oh well he was on the other side so I was safe lol....anyway when we got to the water he LOVED IT! he followed me in and just took off then he would go to shore and come back in again

Catherine and Melissa we out in the deep water and he kept going out to them ....we think Jasper was checking on Catherine to make sure she was safe......good Jasper
We finally just took off his leash and let him go....good dog ....hehad a ball....we will do this again I'm sure.......right Jasper? wooof woooof (he said yes) good day was had by all.
