Spence Saga
Grandma Karen & Grandpa Ron...
Few can bring the warmth... we can find in their embrace,
And little more is needed to bring love, than the smile on their face.

They've a supply of precious stories, yet they've time to wipe a tear,
Or give us reasons to make us laugh, they grow more precious through the years.

I believe that God sent us Grandparents as our legacy from above,
to share the moments of our life, as extra measures of His love.
--We love you, love your grandkids

Happy 4th of July - 2011

Can't think of a better way to celebrate the
Fourth of July
than being with family at our cabin.
I think everyone can agree it was a perfect weekend
with perfect weather, fun activities, yummy food,
and great company!

Did plenty of 4-wheeling!


The boys decided they needed to wear their
helmets playing horseshoes in case they
hit each other! So cute!

Tubing was probably everyone's favorite activity!










Everyone had fun just swimming around in the water.
They all took turns jumping off the back of the boat.



Chelsey getting ready to ski.  After she skiied,
 she stayed in the water and helped Mason try to ski.
He almost made it up but didn't want to
try anymore. Maybe next year!



                                                                                 
                                                     Relaxin' on the boat



                                                                     Little sleep time!




                                                                     Enjoyin' the view


                                                                                                                           
                                                                   
                                             For two nights we built a bonfire and roasted
                                                        hot dogs and s'mores.  Yummy!

                                                  
                                                               



                                            Due to the high water, there are hardly any
                                beaches left, so the north beach was packed
                                                             with people.
                                              We set up our shade cabana and
                                          let the kids play in the sand and water.





              There's a new speedway track in Garden City, so
              on our way out the boys had fun racing their cars.
            Asher was in heaven and they let them race for about
            10 minutes. Asher likes to pretend he's a race car so
              this time, he didn't have to pretend!








What a fun-filled holiday weekend. I think everyone
hated it to end. Between 4-wheeling, boating, playing
on the beach, having horseshoe tournaments, golfing,
eating, and playing tons of cards, there was plenty
for everyone to do. 

Asher sat by Mason on the way home and entertained
him all the way to his house. He said the funniest
things and had Mason cracking up all the way home.
We watched fireworks at Julie's and headed home
for a well deserved rest!

Thanks to everyone for being so cooperative and
helpful and making this an enjoyable trip for everyone!!!

Wow! What a fun weekend. I can't believe we missed out on the fun. It makes me really sad. : (

I'm glad I got to see it through your camera lens. The water looks very inviting.

I'm comin'......
