Jacob sent this picture to us. We think Chloe (Jacob's fiance's daughter) drew
it,because of her and Kayla at the top. They were great friends
when they all came down in April.

Jonathan goes to California

Jonathan flew out to California for the weekend to see Josh and Jake. They had a really good time getting to know each other again. They haven't all been together for 4 1/2 years... since the guys got back from boot camp.

Jacob drove to Joshua's place and they all got together

for  some pictures.

There is never a dull moment with Jake in the picture.

Jake tried to get Jon to lighten up, but Jake still was the only

one to express himself fully.

Jon finally lightened up a little.

Work Outside

Dad got everybody working outside, getting ready

for winter.

Justin is unloading a pile of brush.

Joey always has a smile for everybody.

I caught Joey playing in the tree instead of helping out.

"Caught you"

I see you Joey.

Riddle the Brain

Joshua sent all of us some riddles to figure out. They are very obvious answers that everybody knows.

• Sample-- 24 = L in the A
• Answer-- 24 = Letters in the Alphabet

Pretty obvious right? Here are some more.

• 54 = C in a D including the J

•  9 = P in the S S

• 29 = D in F in A L Y
  

• 40 = D and N for the G F

• 32 = D at which W F

• 4 = Q in a G

• 8 = S on a S S
  

The answers will come later if you can't figure them out. Enjoy!

Here are the answers;

•  54 cards in a deck including the Jokers
• 9 Planets in the Solar System
• 29 days in a leap year
• 40 days and nights for the Great Flood
• 32 degrees at which water freezes

Camping

Dad took the boys camping for two days.

It was the boys'  first experience at camping alone with dad.

Loading up the car.

They all went hiking along El Dorado lake.

The boys really enjoyed playing around next to the lake.

Joey is not happy that the slide isn't slippery!
