Father's day 2018

Time for the annual Father's Day funny photo ... and we get a "good" one too.

Missing Shane's family, away in California. Jase and the rest of the Jensen's made it up though. His homecoming had been Sunday, so the party got pushed a day. It was on a Monday this year. Colton was gone with his Wolves to a basketball tournament, and we were missing a few others too. Added Sol (Landon's fiance) and Courtney and Seth were there with their new baby (they left before the picture). 

 As with the 2015 blog post, Scott's amusing email is included:

Family:

You are all invited to a Father’s Day dinner on MONDAY, June 18th at 6:00 pm at the Westra residence. I will grill some chicken and hot dogs and have some baked beans. Please let me know if you are coming and what you can bring. I have arranged for some very nice weather. We still have a basketball hoop and tether ball pole but we had to remove the trampoline and fire pit. I know – Taylee is still mad at me. However, the tramp is right next door and I am sure you are welcome to use it there – their kids will likely be over at our house anyway.

Amy has nixed most of my suggested activities, including the garden weeding competition and car wash fund-raiser. Kemery has offered to give slack line lessons (you will probably have to sign a waiver – Derek or Grayson would have to sign two waivers). I am also willing to lead a hike to the suspension bridge or Ghost Falls. There are frequent Heffalump and Woozel sightings along both trails.

We hope you can come. Scott and Amy

So, no trampoline! But the slackline was up, and there was the new addition of swings. Grayson brought his latest toy ... a segway.  It got some use. Josh loved it, although should he really be riding with a newly broken hand? The kids took to the Segway easily. The adults ... Scott almost went down and there was a close call with the Segway almost taking out Noelle (Daddy Derek was right there for the rescue). Without the trampoline (hole) ... what happened to the TOADS?

The annual photo is featured up top ... here's a peek at what happens during set up!
