Back Home

After an 11 hour drive back home we arrived to find a few surprises. (Note this is all at 1:00am)

First, Honda had been parked in the garage, so Curt was going to move her and he walked into a huge spider web going from Honda to motorcycle, and to then to the wall. He then found the culprits, 3 black widows. After we killed them, We went into the house.

Second, in the house we found about 20 dead crickets all over the floors. It was really gross, but we are glad that they were dead because that means our bug spray is working. Yay

Third, we walked into the back yard to find a very, very, green pool, Carl was broken because some kids were throwing rocks in the pool again, and the salt cell wasn't working. While Shay was fixing Carl, Curt unpacked the car. Then we went to bed.

The next day Curt swept the pool, and we shocked it. During this time a storm rolled in.
Notice the sky in the above picture. This is from the backyard. (facing west)

This is from the front yard. (facing east). It was a good storm, lots of thunder and lightning.

After 3 days, and 5 bags of shock, we're happy to report that the pool is now back to normal, Wahoo.

Farley Family Reunion

This year our vacation was up to Utah. Because Mom & Dad Farley just got back from a mission. To celebrate this, the Farley family (14 adults, 8 kids) decided to have a reunion in Bear lake. We had a great time. We went to the lake everyday. One of the days Curt decided to dig a hole to China to watch the Olympics in person, the kids enjoyed standing in the 4 foot hole.

We only have a few pictures, we are waiting for sister-in-law to send us a CD of the rest.

But because Keara said "get to it" here are a few pictures.


Curt enjoying his vacation while watching the Olympics on a big screen TV.

Shay going down one of the slides that goes from one floor to the other. The kids had so much fun with the slides... and so did the adults. :)
Notice how this is much smaller then the counter. Yes, it's a child size toilet. Curt got a kick out of peeing in it.
This was the view of the lake we had from the house. It was really pretty watching the moon come up every night. Lastly, this is the back side of the house, showing the porches we would sit out on.

Rue to the Rescue

This is one of the games Rufus likes to play while in the pool Curtis pretends to drown and Rufus saves him

Notice the paw pushing on his head.

The Duck Dos

The two things rufus loves the most.
