Summer is officially over (here at least)

Well, the kids headed back to school today. They were very excited about it. They got to ride on a school bus for the first time (they didn't want Mom to drive them on their first day to the new school - not cool). We have been very busy working on the place out here and enjoying company. We had the Hackbarts stop by in July and got to spend some time with them while they were out touring the country for a month. The kids really enjoyed seeing their kids and of course Ken and I had a great time visiting with Mark and Kaycee, hopefully we can do it again sometime. Then my sister, Monica, and her family came out for about 10 days. Jeff came out to help my Dad work on the house. They got a lot done and we now even have a working toilet in the upstairs of the house!!! Monica and I took the kids over to one of our friends house who has a farm and the kids enjoyed feeding all of the animals and collecting eggs and things like that. I have included some pictures of all of them out there. We also were able to celebrate RJ's birthday while they were here. So we took a day off of work and headed out to the Jamestown resevoir for the day. the kids got to go swimming and played games. We BBQ'd and just generally had a good time, we also went to the Jamestown Speedway after the BBQ and watched the races. The kids had a blast. The Crown Royal Nascar car was there so we got pictures of the kids next to it too. There are also some pictures of all of the kids riding in the Go-Kart with the next door neighbors. They all took turns and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Hope everyone has had a wonderful summer, we look forward to hearing from each of you.

Love
The Morgans
