Yosemite

We continued our national park tour with a 2-hour drive to the floor of Yosemite National Park.  We had all been here before except for Delaney.  In all actuality, our kids probably would have preferred to stay at the house to play, but we just had to go - too close to not go!!  We left around 11 a.m. and got back around 10 that night.  It was a long day, but being surrounded by God's majestic handiwork was definitely exhilarating!  Maybe our kids will see that, too, eventually.

The park was FULL!  We stopped near the old Wawona Hotel for lunch, hiked up to Bridal Veil Falls, drove out to Happy Isles to swim in the river, and then made our way to the lower Yosemite Falls.  It was a beautiful, very comfortable, day!


Somehow, this stick made it all the way back
to Kansas!
Delaney was NOT ready for pictures!






Not in a very good mood at this point. . .
The water was COLD!



This is about the spot that Treg proposed
to Candace - 14 years ago?

Can you see them??
Delaney was much happier on the way out!

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it.  However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it.  It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved.  Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy.  I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims.  And I get to move on with my life with little disruption.  I feel like I am on the outside looking in.   But I guess that's okay.  I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me.  My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience! From posing with the trophy to testing her vertical (6th place for all girls who tried!), to watching the match between Texas A&M and Kentucky, to a real life reindeer in the arena, we had a fun day!

Cousin Week

We declared last week "Cousin Week" and went to see Cale, Mace, and Ty play football.  We also watched Addi play volleyball.  Three of those events were on the same day!  I'm sure the girls feel like they have seen enough football to last a long time.  Little do they know - Caiden will be playing in 2 short years and they will have to sit through a lot more of those! We did enjoy watching each one - watching their strengths come through, watching them interact with teammates and coaches.  They are all growing up - just like our own three keep doing!  How does that happen?? Now, if only we could magically appear in California for the other cousins' sports endeavors! Addi - already an 8th grader! Ty, a 5th grader - far right Good teammate Mace, also a 5th grader - #6 Cale, an 8th grader.  #83 (white shirt)
