Almost Heaven...family reunion 2012

The McArthurs know how to celebrate family style and we had a heavenly time together.  There were many celebrations and fun events.

First we started out the week planning all the things we wanted to do.
Aunt Kimmie gave my boys books she wrote about their adventures together.  Super cute and a great keepsake of this time in their life.



A calendar was made.
Shooting at the old quarry.
Bike riding.
Games.

Playgrounds.

Walks in the woods.
Tree climbing.


Blackwater Falls.



Rock climbing.
Eating at Siriani's.
Family photos at Lindy Point (a.k.a. McArthur Rock)


Doug about gave me a heart attack when he climbed up on this one with massive drop offs on every side.


Songs were sung.
Celebrated Mom and Dad McArthur's retirement.
Sleeptime.
Throwing rocks in the creek.




Fishing.
Rock scuptures.

Catching creepy crawlies.
Wildflowers and butterflies.



Rock face painting.

Scottie's for breakfast.



Swimming in the river.

  2. My goodness those are beautiful pictures! I love the colors of India down to the earth tones of rock face painting. It is also nice to know that Doug can keep himself busy rock sculpting.
