This is the family pitching in to help fill goodie bags to hand out the week of elections. The slogan on them said: "I am bribing you for your vote. If you want Honesty...vote Megan Searles."
Above: Another shot of the family at work.
Above: This is Mikayla on the 4-wheeler out in our backyard. We have made a couple more trails out through the woods to make it more fun.
Above: Frank had just spent a couple of hours working on a new trail here. The kids were trying it out.

VIDEO #1: Click on the LINK below to watch Donovan riding the 4-wheeler. This is Donovan trying out the new trail that we made. We had a hard time getting through this dip our first year here…but we finally decided to level out the edges and now we can go through it and further out into the forest. Notice how brave he is at first and then he gets a little bit intimidated by the end (it gets kind of narrow by the creek).
VIDEO #2: Click on the link below to see PJ, Cody and Liz posing for what they THOUGHT was a photo, but turned out to be video instead (I thought I was taking a photo too at first).
VIDEO #3: Click on the link below to see us having fun with Sophie.
