Fort Stevens 2009

The younger boys and I took a day trip up to Ft. Stevens today. This morning we visited with the Zaugg side of the family. Grandpa extracted a tooth for Nephi. He is a whopping $2 richer now!
After lunch we went to a different part of Ft. Stevens to visit relatives on the Dysart side of the family. I haven't seen them in 22 years. Not since Grandpa Dysart passed away. Except for cousin Natalie. I have seen her.
I hope it's not another 20+ years before we get together again. That's just way too long. We had a lot of fun. The boys got to meet their second cousins and had a blast playing with them at the beach house and the beach.
I will post pictures tomorrow. I just finished 45 minutes of posting on facebook.

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
