Palisades 2009

Every other year we try to go on a vacation with my parents, my 3 brothers, 1 sister, plus all the grand kids. This year we opted to do something simple and less expensive by going camping at Palisades. It is a beautiful little place with a lake, golf course, walking trails and showers! It was great to spend time visiting, playing games, and watching all the kids play together. It rained almost every day for a little while and then it would clear up and be nice. It was a little cool but I didn't mind that at all! Better to put on a sweater than sweat in my opinion!!

do this for so long...then you get arrested!

Trey & Jaden - you can't slow these boys down,

Alec - he searched all over and found enough

golf balls to fill a 5 gallon bucket. He thought

that was awesome!
