Cherries

Today was the first day of "pick your own" cherries at Bielers Fruit Farm.

So we took a few of our Amish neighbors early this morning and went to pick cherries!
Mommy, Kaitlyn, Joshua, Lillia, Hope, and Joy picked 60 lbs.!

 

Heading home!

Rissler/King Wedding

This past Saturday the wedding of Samuel King and Faith Rissler was held at the Mt. Gretna Tabernacle. This beautiful outdoor tabernacle was built in 1899 and can seat over 700 people.

These gorgeous bridesmaid dresses were made in only two weeks by Faith's grandmother!

 Sam and Faith's families... Faith is one of 13 children and Sam has one sister!

 A bittersweet day for Bro. Philip and Sis. Carolyn...the newlyweds will be living in England.

hors d'oeuvres

Mommy, Joshua, and I were asked to help in the kitchen, preparing food and washing dishes.

Roseanna, Joanna, and Aunt Jeanine volunteered to help and they were awesome!
Thank you all so much!  We couldn't have done it without you!

Twin Dikes Campground

Monday night we went to Twin Dikes Campground on Lake Sam Rayburn. 
When we pulled into our camping spot, the family next to us was from BFT Family Camp also!

They let us use their boat!

While we were sitting on the shore, this herring flew in and caught a huge fish!!

Hope and Lillia rolled some driftwood logs out into the lake and were swimming around on them...

Check out what was on the end of their log!  :-O

Thankfully, no one got stung!

I guess he didn't want to get knocked over by the wave!! lol ;)

My adorable lil brother!!!  :)

Enjoying their popsicles!

 One boat pulling three skiers...I thought it was pretty neat!

 Tuesday morning this black squirrel was outside!

 "Want some cereal?"  :)

We also had to say good-bye to this sweet family.

And that is the last post of our Vacation in East Texas!
