July

The Hafer family graciously invited us to join them for a fun 4th of July camping/fishing trip on the Chickahominy River (near Williamsburg).

Check out this campsite on the beach. Pretty cool, huh? It was only accessible by boat, so we took several trips across the water getting all of our supplies over.

There were some rough turns of events (rain and a broken outboard motor), but we still managed to have fun. Fred and Casey were gracious hosts and bent over backwards to take care of us.

The creature from the swamp...no wait, that's Sarah! As you can imagine, the only inspiration for such a gross costume was a dare from Randall.

More strawberry picking...only this time with friends (Seth, Eva and Grant). Eva called her friend Seth a few weeks ago when it was her birthday. After a lengthy conversation, Eva handed the phone back to me. She said Seth had to go because "his ear hurt." I laughed for a long time about that one. I think Randall can sympathize with Seth surrounded by a house full of girls. Sometimes when you get a girl talking...

I love strawberry season! As you can tell the girls aren't worried about eating a little dirt with those berries when they've just been picked.

My friend Michelle made adorable matching green skirts for the girls. I took these pictures with Daddy after church. We were in Raleigh for a family medicine conference over the weekend.

When Randall was on his surgery rotation he brought home extra surgical hats, gloves and scrubs for the girls to dress up in. Randall always seems to know how to liven things up and make things more interesting for everyone. It's probably because he is still a kid at heart.
