Family Get Together at Bob and Buffy's Homestead in Danville, WA

This year we planned to have a family get together at Bob and Buffy's place in Danville, WA.  Danville is located one-two miles away from the Canadian border, as Bob is a Border Partrolman...(is that the correct term?)  We had a great time with some of the best food and certainly the best hosts ever.

 Bob and Buffy's Homestead.  They have a great barn, huge shed and a little cabin on the property.

 View from the stand point of Jeeping...

 Dear Sweet Hannah!  She camped with us in our tent trailer.  We love her!

 Just one picture that needs to portray the listing of numerous animals on the property....rabbits, bunnies, chickens turkeys, a horse, dogs, cats, and I'm sure, may other animals unknown to the human species...did I miss anything?

 some brand new bunnies, just barely old enough for us to hold - sooo cute!

 amazing awesome garden!  One Telisha would be drooling over...

 once we got Hyrum and Hannah in the Jeep they loved going with Landon and Uncle Eldon everywhere!  Landon became Hyrum's hero, at least for the weekend, if not for all time.

 Here's Tami and us below all looking for plant fossils...hacking away carefully to hopefully unfold a beautiful mystery....but some of us didn't have enough patience for the task....

 as you can see, here is Landon, just hammering at the rocks.  I'm not sure he's going to find any fossils this way...

 If you look close, you can find Buffy, Grandma Berry and Bob diligently and carefully trying to uncover the fossils.

 We then went to a campground to relax and enjoy the rest of the afternoon.  Here is Hannah loving Landon.  The goggles are for the lake Hannah and others played in.  Too cold for most of us to jump in.

Meanwhile, Hyrum runs around trying to catch a yellow butterfly.  Hyrum eventually wins!  The butterfly is caught only to be released shortly after.

 Leave it to Uncle Eldon to find something fun to do.  The wind was slightly blowing so he decided to put together a sailboat with our dinner plate and a piece of wood and a stick.  Always the clever guy...love it!

 Perfect sailing.

 Landon as we know him best....jumping.

 Our little nature walk around the lake that ended up taking us two hours?  I loved it!

 Seriously, there is a beaver in the center of this picture.  I kid you not.

and then there was the strange bugs found here and there....this one landed on Landon.  Why does he get all the action?

Thanks for the great time Bob and Buffy!

I should have taken pictures of the meals they fixed, they were incredible!  I mean incredible!  Now, why didn't I think of that sooner?!?!?!?!?

Our favorite moment was when we were getting ready to go to church and Hannah just kept repeating the words, while pacing outside...."If I don't get to ride in the Jeep, I'm not going to church."  "If I don't get to ride in the Jeep, I'm not going to church.".....etc., etc., etc. Then noticing that no one had paid much attention to her, stated, "I'm very distraught!"

Love that girl!
