The Hike 2

Brothers and sisters, marching forth in the beauty of their Master's creation!

A game of volleyball at the Hall's (I didn't load the pictures in any particular order, sorry.)

Two pretty girls, Rachel and Rebecca.

I'll gladly claim this little man as my brother, John Daniel. :)

Resting and chatting and laughing... life with friends is simply wonderful. Praise the Lord!

Jenna the farm girl!

I like this picture a lot! I like those girls pretty well, too. :)

It's me! I do not remember that picture being taken, for some reason. I "stole" it from Renee though, so I guess she's responsible.

Isaac Hall, one of the greatest boys I know.

Lifting a big rock to throw into the creek.

Talent

'Tis Mabel!

Joel among the wildflowers.

Playing soccer at the Browns', where we broke for lunch.
