For Father's Day this year, Brad really wanted to go camping which is sooooo not what I wanted to do (me + outdoors = gross mess). We managed to compromise and spend a day at Johnson's Shut-Ins. Very different post-flood and not exactly what either of us remembered, but great fun for the boys.

June 2010
The Graduate
While Andrew graduated almost a month ago, we finally got around to celebrating the big accomplishment. (REALLY big accomplishment as he graduated with honors and a Masters Degree in Accounting!)
Ann Marie & Brian hosted the fabulous event which involved a much deserved pool dunking:
A keg of ice cold beer (and the line for the keg in 90+ heat):
A fleeting summer thunderstorm:
And some mild nudity (look at those awesome underoos!):
There was also watermelon, a trampoline, swimmers fully clothed and a small birthday serenade during the course of the day. When all was said and done, it was an excellent party and all photos can be found on Flickr.
She's Baaacckkk....
That would be Ms. Kayla... who flew into town early this morning with her mom and stepdad-to-be in tow. Drew bugged me non-stop about seeing her from the time we woke up this morning until we finally made it by Grannie Annie and Papa Fred's house late this afternoon.
Kay spent the afternoon with us playing in the rain and the mud with the buggers. Rather it be her than me!
So good to see her and she keeps getting taller.
Because I'm a terrible aunt, I never mailed off her birthday gift back in May but for once my procrastination paid off -- she had her new pogo stick here in St. Louis to use with Drew...
We are getting ready for a few rough days ahead with the wake of Grandpa Lu tomorrow and the funeral on Tuesday morning. Please keep his kids in your prayers as well as Doris who is still on the mend from last week.
