Our 4th of July excursion to White Lake, SD

First, I am going to post two pictures that were taken 5 minutes apart...in the first picture, I look like a beached whale who is about to give birth to like 500 baby whales:
I was so devastated seeing that picture on the camera that I immediately went upstairs and changed so Chris could take a picture and if I STILL looked like little miss fatso, I was going to stop eating right then and there! Here's picture number 2:

It's like night and day! I'm not saying I'm some skinny minny in this picture...I know I need to lose some weight, but gone is the whale and in is someone I can actually stomach looking at...this just goes to show (ALEECE GILMAN) that BLACK is the ONLY color that works for me. So you might as well give up on your agenda to get me in something other than black...never again.

Here are some more pictures (Not all, the rest are currently uploading onto Kodak gallery and will be sent out thereafter) from our very short trip to South Dakota...this is Ayris making the rice krispy bars before we left:

This was one of the first pictures that I took on the onset of some uncomfortableness on my part with the idea of my children getting all muddy. This was in fact, the first time they had played in the mud...at least on my watch:

Playing in the living room...
Alice and Ayris...

Amber with the kids...
Myron with Asher...



Bubbles in the sky...
Day two of playing in the mud...I'm still trying to figure out the allure of becoming a sloppy mess...they had a blast though.


Ayris about to go on her first motorcycle ride...




Thanks Dan and Dawn for taking all the kids for a ride!
Mom, I really gotta go pee!
I'm not kidding...you need to put the camera down and start assisting!
Maybe I can just plug the hole with my finger?
On the ride home...
I'm not kidding when I say that they waited until the last possible minute to fall asleep (about 15 minutes before we got home...at around 10:30 p.m.)

It was a great trip even though it was a short one...it only adds to my desire to have a big family. The love, the drama, the conversations, the abundance of people...can't wait!
