I’m glad we caulked the roof, because for the next few days it rained on and off. Billy’s dad came down from Front Royal to stay with us, and we had such a great time.
The kids were thrilled to have Grandpa in town. He took them to the store and got them all set up with fishing gear for our trip!

Rain or shine, we still had a birthday boy who was ready to turn EIGHT! Deacon is awesome. We all agree that things would be pretty dull without him.
