Fall 2015

Wow, what an amazing fall!

For fall break (mid-September) we drove to Lake Oconee and rented a house for a few nights. We also rented a pontoon boat one day and had a blast on the water!

Having fun playing at Catch Air


We had a small party with a giant water slide the next day. Most friends were out of town for summer break, so only a few friends could make it. We were happy to have lots of family present though - Grandma D, Grandpa D, Luke, Emma, Amanda, and Pa.
