Weekend with the Knapps

Last weekend Matt and Dana Knapp came for a visit. Every time we tried to get together over the last 6 months or so it never worked out so Matt had the wisdom to say let's just set a date. We did and it's a good thing or we probably would never have gotten together for another several months.

They came on Friday night in time for supper. The children played awhile and we had family devotions before heading off to bed then the adults visited longer than we should have but not as long as we used to; we headed to bed around midnight - we aren't as young as we used to be!!!

This is the majority of the group. Javan is between Dana and Seth and hidden by Caleb, Jubilee is hidden by Jonas. Matt and Dana were married several months before us and the twins (Joshua and Caleb) were born 3 weeks after Jonas; evening us out at 6 children a piece with 3 - 2 year old boys to entertain us.

The children enjoyed playing several games of Clue together.

Megan and Jolene enjoyed being together and this wasn't the only time Megan did Jolene's hair!

Caleb - in the car, Joshua - sticking out his belly, and Jonas on the tractor. I wanted a better picture of them all together but never took the time.

On Saturday we loaded up and went canoeing down the Mackinaw river that runs just about 1/4 - 1/2 mile from our house. We had 4 canoes in all, we allowed 3 of the older children to man their own canoe. There was plenty of blaming going on of who was at fault that they couldn't go straight down the river. It was usually pointed at the man in the rear until a certain someone got in the rear and then it was everyone else's fault! Go figure!!!

It was a wonderful time together our only regret is that we can't do it more often!!!
