Spring and Summer at a Glance: Photos

Yes, it has been a long time since I put photos up. Besides time, it is hard to catch up with my family and pull their cameras away long enough to catch some photos. Below are some photos from the past 6 months or so. Enjoy!

Valentines Day

Ashley has a tradition of decorating a table for each holiday, Valentine's Day being one of them.

The Table.

Two of my wonderful girls!

Random

A random picture of Lizzie and her friend Ben making goofy faces....

Willow Point, Lake Martin (March)

Some dear friends of ours let us stay at their lakehouse over Spring Break. It was a good time.

A beautiful dogwood in bloom.

Me pulling kin on the sea doo, Beatty Jr. behind me.

Gracie and a neighbor dog, who eats shoes, by the way....

It wasn't exactly warm.... My two beautiful redhead ladies.

Sweet 16

Easter

My great children!

Another great picture of them!

African Hunt

On May 2, Daniel, Gracie, and I participated in an African Hunt (targets) and had a great time. See the Rinehart 100 for more details.

Daniel shooting one of the larger targets.

Gracie found and shot at this hideous vampire bat.

No bull, not trying to buffaloe you.

Moonlight Ball

Mom and Dad with beautiful daughter, LC.

Navarre

I drove down to Navarre from Mobile to spend a quick, wonderful day with friends, The Pocrevas.

On the beach for a quick 30 minutes....

I have no idea why I like this picture, but here it is.

Willow Point, Lake Martin (May/June)

We were blessed to go to Lake Martin again in late May/early June!

Don, vicki, PA, Ashley, and I grabbed a bite at Kowliga--men by water, women by land.

Island geocaching with Daniel, Gracie, Victoria, and Don.

Don and I having tea like the right Scotsmen we are.

Beautiful sunset on Lake Martin.

June

I took some time off one Monday to spend contemplating in the presence of God and nature. I went to Tannehill and spend time hiking the trails. Tannehill was one of the key ironworks during the War Betwen the States.

The old slave cemetary at the corner of Tannehill--long hike in the hot and humid.

While geocaching on the way to the teenager's church camp in Hattiesburg, MS, we stopped by this earth cache alongside the interstate in Meridian: concretians.

Daniel's 7th Birthday Party: an ARCHERY Party!!

what a great fun concept for a party! At Bennett's Archery.

Here is the crew at Daniel's 7th birthday party at Bennett's Archery in Wetumpka. Theo and Alec Simmonton, Daniel, Gracie, and James Dixon.

Daniel shooting at his birthday party.

Gracie shooting.

The birthday table.

The little mister blowing out his candles.

Late June

Geocaching with Daniel, we found one near the Clanton Peach water tower. Clanton: home of the best peaches!!

A few minutes later, at milemarker 194, Southbound I-65, where I spend most of the day! Life does not always go as planned!

Well, I hope you enjoyed this latest addition of Photos-At-A-Glance! Until next time!
