Our third annual "Thunder on the Hill" or as some are now calling it "The Willows of Thunder" was a success!! The only positive thing about our country being in a recession is that with the housing market struggling, the hill behind our house remains. With this comes our Thunder celebration. We have decided that if they try to take our hill away we will have to silently protest by laying in the hill. Okay, so anyway, Shadd was such a trooper yesterday and braved the hill and cleared it off. I think once he got started he let it get the best of him. I looked out the back window and he had somehow taken the lawn mower to the top and was mowing it. Then he came down looking for stakes and string to rope off the edges for everyone. Then he used flags to mark the path on the way up. Great work honey!!!! We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and neighbors!!!
The Stewart Family
Say cheese everyone!!
Elise and Olivia
Presley and Landen with their adorable smiles!
Presley wasn't too sure where they were taking her
Scooter and Bethany
Bryce and Landen
Cornhole and our firepit on the right that Shadd put together yesterday with pavers and rock. He was a busy boy!
Aaron and Catherine
Our family
Matt, Olivia and Elise(who at this point was zonked out!)
The Fuller family
My adventurous husband. He was leading the hike up to the top with all of his supplies in tow. He had beverages, fruit snacks, etc. I think he is a boy scout at heart.
Here's the gang waiting for the fireworks to begin. Notice the official looking rope. Gotta love it!
Our view of the fireworks. It's not as close as the river but it is great for the little ones. Not too loud and absolutely no traffic!!! Let's hope our hill is here for 2010!!!!
