Heber Hanks Party

Last Tuesday there was a Heber Hanks Appreciation party in the community center in Baker. Grandpa worked many years maintaining the Baker Community Center (inside and out). He is now officially retired from that job..........

There were quite a few friends that showed up at different times.....

The kids always like the snacks (OK, I do too) lol

Grandpa pulled out the vaccuum and went to work at his own party. lol.

This is the last time he'll be doing this............

It'll be kinda sad not to see him go through Baker in his little white truck to work............but it's about time he decided to take it easy........

This is an older picture of Ava (I think around 3 months old) in her frog robe. I always laughed at how alert she always looked...... her eyes resemble those large amphibian eyes!

Well, the robe has been passed on to Isaac..............

I think he's got that same look :P

lol
Ava graduated long ago to a much larger frog towel that she really likes (along with a duck one).

Ribbit............Ribbit............... I realized we have a lot of frog stuff in this house

They were happy to pose and I just thought it was cute that they both matched :)

They say "Welcome to my pad!" ................ ok that was cheezy but I couldn't help myself :)

Ha ha

Sarah's got her hands full............

Ohio Cabin

We drove to Adam's County in Ohio to stay at Ben & Deb's getaway cabin on Long Lick Drive. They use it primarily for a hunting cabin. It's a beautiful, peaceful place.

We relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful weather and each other's company..........

Beautiful Sarah and baby Violet.............

Rob & Amy (what a cute couple) :)

Our family shot.........

Herp-trips

While it was windy and chilly in Baker - we were having ideal warm weather in Ohio. One day was 80 degrees. This opened up a door for the possibility of seeing critters......


Good ol' Jimmy Fox

Isaac sleeping in the pack........

Rob & Bryan documenting the site............

Bryan, Rob and Fox found 5 Timber Rattlesnakes on this trip (this one is WELL fed)..........

There were many other animals we didn't photograph, like salamanders........
