Grandma and Grandpa Byrds visit 2007

Matt and I told ourselves we would take more pictures during Grandma and Grandpa Byrd's trip this year, well at least our intentions were good! We had a great visit with Matt's parents, they came over Labor day weekend. We picked them up in Portland and drove right up to West Gardiner to spend some time on the lake. We took them on several boat rides around the lake which they seemed to enjoy. We also took them up to Belgrade for dinner with Grammy. We then headed up to Rangeley for a night. Matt's parents hadn't been to Rangeley and Saddleback yet. We took a couple of pictures overlooking Rangeley lake at the base of Dallas Hill.

We spent the night at the condo on the mountain and had breakfast at the Ginger Bread house the next morning before we headed back down to South Berwick. Reid had her first day of school while Matt's parents where here and the picture below is of Pops and Grandpa Byrd waiting for Reid's school bus. The bus was quite late as it was the first day of school. Reid gets off the bus at our neighbors house across the street as there are a few kids getting on and off the bus and this is a good meeting point. I got a picture of Grandpa Byrd snoozing on the couch as Grandma Byrd was napping upstairs. Apparently we run them ragged when they come to visit us!


Thank you for a great visit Grandpa and Grandma Byrd! We miss you!

Belgrade with family

We planned a day at the lakes with Megan, Rusty, Matty and Isabelle. We had pretty good weather and lots of swimming, boating, skiing and food. Here's Matty with a huge grin while riding in Aunt Kris/Grammy's boat.

Matty loved riding in the tube!Megan showing off her athletic ability on water skis!

Rusty showing off! Matty and Quinn had a great time together in the tube.
Reid and Isabelle enjoying the tube, as long as they had some weight in the back!Reid and Ben looking cool in their shades riding up front in Grammy's boat.

Tristan and Keenan tubing. My how things have changed. Years ago when we had Keenan over he was so afraid to go in the tube, now he's loving it!
Look at these crazy kids! Matty, Quinn, Isabelle, Reid and Ben.
