2008 Elders Quorum BBQ

The Elders quorum sponsored our wards annual bbq at Burnsridge Park on June 20th. Thank you for doing such a great job. I think we were even able to do a little bit of missionary work by feeding some passerbys. The food was really, really good, just ask Bonny. Sorry Bonny, I had to add this photo, but in all fairness, I believe she gave birth within the next 24 hours to a beautiful baby boy. Congratulations (belated)!

Enjoying some good times between brothers.

Are we seeing double? This was a great shot of two of the Walker triplets. Don't ask me which one is which.

Rylie couldn't keep it all in. Good times.

We were well stocked for the water balloon launch which proved to be a great amusement to all ages. It was fun to watch the small group of youth that tried to catch them on the other end. Oddly enough, they were never able to catch one intact.

Camp Anderson 2008

On July 17th through the 19th, we ventured off to Anderson Park in Vernonia Oregon for our annual ward campout. As you can see by these photos we had a great time playing together and getting to know each other better. If you have any other pictures that you would like to add to these pictures, please email me @ mattggold@hotmail.com. The above picture was taken at the dock at the nearby lake in Vernonia.
There is a great abandoned mill next to the lake that we had a great time exploring.

Of course, there is the river. We spent the better part of Friday afternoon playing in the water. This was right next to our campsite.

And some just watched. Trust me, you won't melt if you get wet!

Here we are hunting for the elusive crawdad (or crayfish). OK, they weren't that elusive, as is evidenced by the next photo. Last year we did this differently. We used a stick with fishing line, hook and a hot dog. This proved very challenging and time consuming. This year we were a little more impatient and just grabbed the net. Much faster!

BON APETIT!
