Nuggets Along the Trail: Kaiser Wiener Roast

Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

Kaiser Wiener Roast

Well, with the high for the day forecast at 85* or so, the roaring fire part really wasn’t necessary, and we provided ice and pop instead of hot chocoate; nevertheless we enjoyed a crew of Kaisers on Sunday evening for the annual wiener roast. Thanks to everyone who came – we loved seeing so many again!

Love all these smiles!

Trampoline was well-used.

As was the sandbox.

And swings.

Sandbox kept getting fuller as the evening wore on -

How many Kaisers can you count?

Volleyball fun -

kind of turned into football fun when the younger crowd kept taking the volleyball Smile .

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

I Timothy 1:17

*I counted 24. I think I heard at one point there were 28!
