On our way home from the cabin, we stopped to have dinner with some friends we hadn't seen in wayyyyyy too long: The Ridgeway Family. We had a great time! The Ridgeway kids line up with ours like a zipper. It was Stacey's idea to line them up by age for these photos, and Mike's idea to give the kids "themes" for each pic.

Here they are: Elijah (nearly 8), Dora (7), Rebekah (6), Davis (5), Joanna (4), Delaney (3) and Rachel (1.5). Aren't they adorable?!!

Don't be strangers, Alan & Stacey! :)

Rachel's nose has been a little runny and we knew we couldn't take her to church nursery, so we made Sunday a family day and had our own "cathedral in the pines". We visited Leslie's parents at the family cabin in the San Bernardino mountains. Oh, did I mention that they didn't know we were coming? :)

I went on a hike with the kids. Elijah commanded the troops to fill in a hole with rocks.

On the drive home from Blythe, we stopped to pick up a bite to eat. You can see by the pictures that Rachel wanted something Aunt Jaime had
