We spent the July 4th Weekend in Wyomoing with Justin, Catherine, Brayden & Peyton. Catherine signed us up for the annual "Mud Volleyball Tournemant" We had fun taking 3rd place. The night before we attended the local rodeo and later we watched the prade.
Last week we made our by-annual trip to the beach house located in the Outer Banks of No. Carolina. http://www.outerbanks.org/index.asp Not everyone was able to make it this year and we missed them but we had a great time once again. Here is a link to some of the pictures.

Yesterday was Casey's 17th birthday and by the looks of it he wasn't too excited. He said that birthdays aren't as fun as they used to be. He had to go to work then all of his friends were either on vacation or busy so he hung out with us (which apparently we aren't that fun). Tomorrow we are all going to a beach house in North Carolina for a week and then Casey will go to EFY with his cousin Taylor in Virginia at Southern Virginia University for the second week. That sounds like a fun birthday to me!!!
Justin has been wanting a motorcycle for some time now and after many discussions with his Dad and Mom's he finally did it. Now we are all nervous when we hear him leave and grateful when we hear him return.
Abby chose to go boating for her family birthday party but it was too cold so we went bowling instead. We all had tons of fun!!!!
Abby started her 2nd year of competitive dance. After several months of practice they had their first competition last weekend. Here are a few pictures. Photos by (big brother)Justin Harrison
Each winter for the past several years we make our way up to Island Park Idaho where we stay in our friend’s (Doug Jackson) cabin. This year the snow was deeper than we have ever seen it. We had a great time snowmobiling, playing games and just hanging out and relaxing.
Casey wins 3 matches in route to a 5th place finish in the 103 pound weight class at the 4A state wrestling tournament. Congrats Casey…

We went with several of our friends and kids on a Disney Cruise last week. We sailed out of Cape Caneveral Florida. our first stop was in the Florida Keys, the second stop was in the Grand Cayman's where we swam with the sting ray's, the third stop was in Cozumel Mexico and the final stop was on the Disney private island "Castaway Cay". We had a great time and look forward to going again some day.
