Zoo day

We took one long day to drive out to a little zoo near Gainsville, Tx and it was worth the trip! At least this year we got to ride on a little train. One of these years I will get my kids on a real train!

Nan's 9th Birthday

Nan's 9th Birthday was a wonderful one! Aunt Honey and Nan took a day to make this wonderful cake and Lucy is helping Nan enjoy her presents!

Sweet Summer Rain

This is out on my mom and dad's drive way. It finally rained after taking weeks and weeks, it was sweet indeed. Lucy got so wet she lost her clothes! From Left to right it's Gabey, Barret and George, Nan, Lucy, and Jack.

Ellie

This is Ellie, Just one month old. She is perfect!

At the end of June we got to visit my highschool friend Cheri Morgan and her 4 kidos in Pooleville, Tx. It was a beautiful day!

Nana loves to have watermelon seed spitting contests but she had a dickens of a time finding melons with seeds, this is one of three different times when we found the white seeds just don't go as far!

Swim days

This is the Janita Maxfield pool in McKinney where we swam 2 or three times a week! In the background you can kinda see the floating snake that the kids loved to fall off of.

George is so cool

George made this cool hammock for this bear.

George got these cool shades at his last guitar lesson where his teacher told him that all guitarists are cool so of course they all have cool glasses! George is way cool!

bebe Gun

Gabey got pretty good with the bebe gun. Don't worry the little kids are not even allowed on the grass and there is no one begind those bushes.

swim lessons

Jack, Andrew and Owen took swim lessons together. They did great!

finger knitting

On the first day of "Nana and Papa Camp" I taught all the kids how to knit a tube chain on their hands. Nan and Truett had a contetst to see who could knit the longest.

Tractor ride

We visited Cousin Ellen and Bobby in the first week of our visit. Truett is actually driving this tractor with Gabe, Nan, George, and Jack in the scoop. Thank you Bobby for a once in a life time ride!

Bikes

My dad "Grampa Jack, or Grandaddy" got bikes for all my kids even Lucy and I got to ride. We had some great bike rides on the streets of McKinney.

Dinner time!

Papa did the honors and cut that fish to smitherines. We all got to taste the crumbly deep batterfried goodness with Powell potatoes on the side!

What she caught

She caught a big one! A Catfish with wiskers and everything!

Fishing with Papa

First, Nan had to find the worms herself.... Georgie helped a little.

Lucy turned 2 in Texas this year. She eventually decided on the cake over the thumb!

Lucy loves her new backpack, a present from her Aunt Honey!

Nana's play room is the best. Summer of 2006, The Harris kids made the most of it!

Almost all the girls

This is one of my favorite pictures from the summer trip to Texas. We are all here except Mel, we missed you Mel. Dorothy is showing us her wedding pictures!
