CAMPFIRE with the Aguilars

Lake Heron was a wonderful place for our family to get together. Al and I stayed there in the RV at nights, while the rest of the family went back to Will and Dana's half an hour away to sleep, as it's hard on the little ones sleeping in too many different places.
Our good friends the Aguilars came for dinner and S'mores, and what fun we all had together!
Below is a picture of the 10 acre lake with Al doing a little fishing from the kayak. We had the place all to ourselves, which was so lovely.

We've been really good friends with the Aguilar family now for probably more than 16 years. What a sweet family they are, and it's been so wonderful watching our children grow up together, and now the grandchildren.

Above is Will (on the left, standing) with Dana (on his left), and Holly (almost hidden on his right).

There's one little girl that will need a good shower. (I'm not sure if it's S'mores or mud =)

With Megan it's probably both.! I was walking with her hand in hand earlier, when all of a sudden she falls to the ground, and with her little hand cupped, clamps down with lightening speed over something. Then with both hands together, as pleased as punch, announces she "got it!". (A FROG!)

Funny, I run in the opposite direction, she runs to it. Can you tell she has three big brothers? She is quite the gal - afraid of very little!

Here is one of the twins in the foreground. We've known them since they were babies.

(We sure missed Erin and Michelle, as well as Elizabeth and Ashleigh. Whenever they would go out with our daughter Dana, people thought they were sisters)

There's Bruce with his S'more stick and Vicki on his left. (Yes, that's the Vicki who faithfully comments on our blogs). In front of her is the youngest of their 11 children, Lindsay ALLISON =) holding Storie (our youngest granddaughter), with Addie in the stroller.
I had forgotten to take pictures as we were having such a good time, and then saw my camera and snapped a few. I'm glad I did, to remember such a blessed time together.

Hope you enjoyed a glimpse around our campfire that night. For those of us that were there, it reminds us of that special evening.

Truly the best things in life are free, like the love of family and good friends.

We're so glad you came Sean, Christian, Holly, Addie, Storie,Will, Dana, Tim, Andrew, Owen, Megan, Mary Kate, and all the Aguilars. We love you guys!
