Each campfire lights anew....the flame of friendship true!

The night before the kids left, we had our last bonfire. Mike (without his beard ) is sharpening his marshmallow stick....

Robin was telling us a story and got a little excited about it!!

Of course we have to take the annual trip to the Acorn Studio for a Grindstone Sweatshirt.....

Is it obvious Emma was tired and did NOT want to smile for the picture????

There was NO way Dave was going in that cold water....

Mike taking his last spin on the jet ski....

OK....so I look up from the deck yesterday and I see this house )on barrels) floating down the river, pulling this boat. I tried to talk Salt into selling our house and building something like that.....NO TAXES!! The fireworks were spectacular....especially for a private party. They were so unusual......

And through the haze the group gathered....

The fire pit with the built in chairs....
