At the Booxby's

The Booxby’s had many Freakish guests….here they are. Andy as Superman, Sara as Wonder Woman, Ken as Bill Clinton, Sue as Hillary (she missed the photo op, so Sara do you have any of her to post on the blog?!), Wendy as Delilah, Eric as Samson, Joel and Sandy as NASCAR fans, Molly, Bert and Shirley as Little boy blue, cow and sheep….and sadly the 3 Hams were home sick. :-(

EBC Visitors

Mom & Dad Ham visited Eden Baptist Church when they were in town. Grandma & Grandpa also visited after their trip to Alaska with Daniel. This same Sunday, Tim & Ruth Bixby (Daniel's brother & family) presented their ministry to our church. They will be serving to further the Gospel in France. We had a lot of fun spending time with Grandma & Grandpa and hearing about the ministry Tim and his family have been called to.

A day at the maze...act 3

Olivia got to ride a pony! (Ya gotta love the cheesy smile!)

Maclaren was a teeny bit nervous around the ponies.

Mac loves to run around the straw bale maze. It was a very busy day...we only lost him once!:-)

Shirley Kathryn was pretty tired after her big day---I think we all were!

A day at the maze...act 2

It was so fun to play with the Turner girls at the maze! (and Tante Wendy and Uncle Eric!) The kids enjoyed the live music!

Baby Lucia was just darling in her little pumpkin outfit...she knows how to dress for an occasion! What a punkin'!

Bert carried Shirley Kate around in the sling for several hours as he was working at the maze. (Talk about a multi-tasking Papa!) He thought it would be funny to carry Lucia also, but she was not so sure!

Ava Lorraine! (Need I say more?!) The kids always have a blast in the corn pit.

A day at the maze...act 1

Sara and Kenny enjoyed a thrilling ride on the super slide! Kenny is so BRAVE!!!

The Briggs boys and the Bouwman munchkins (and Auntie Sara!)---It was a gorgeous day to be outside and run and play!

Bronwen enjoyed showing her baby sister all the animals in the petting zoo...you can see the lovely ostriches behind them!

Shirley Kathryn was not so impressed with the goats---not "exotic" enough for her taste!

Bears climbing tree

Kenai River, AK

We've been too busy the last couple of days to post!We have had a good time, but can't wait to get back to the family. At least I can't! Mom and Dad probably want to rent an RV and camp out for a while! I think this place has brought new meaning to "God's Country!"
We stopped a conservation center on the way down and were able to see some animals in their natural habitat. We saw a lot of eagles on the river, and a moose on the way back home. The guide had seen a mother bear and two cubs along the river we were fishing, but we didn't see her.
We were able to go fishing yesterday afternoon. We fished for Rainbow Trout. It was fun. We hooked a total of 22, but only landed 16. The scenery was spectacular. Pictures really don’t do it justice, but we’ve taken quite a few.
Stopped at Wal-Mart and bought a couple cans of soup that Mom prepared for us. None of us were really in a “restaurant” mood after a full afternoon of fishing.
