Father's Day

Luke looks so weird in this picture, I couldn't resist putting it up. He was pretty excited to give his dad the father's day gifts.

Austin, in turn, was excited to get his Father's day gifts. We did it before church since we don't have church until 1pm. (So late! Ugh!)

I wasn't as prepared for Father's Day as I would have liked...I didn't really "wrap" any of the gifts. I don't really have any wrapping paper. I just put all the gifts in individual plastic bags - pretty lame. But Austin didn't seem to mind too much and Luke had fun giving his dad the gifts.

Daddy and Lukey on the horse

Like most kids Luke's age, he LOVES horses. He's always making a horse sound and wanting to pet them and stuff. He LOVED riding around with Austin on the horses. Austin even took him around in the corral and around the barrells and stuff. Pretty fun. The next day, Luke was sitting on Austin's lap and pretending that he was riding a horse. As soon as Luke sat on Austin's lap, he was jumping around on it like he was still on the horse. It was pretty funny. Of course, we don't have that on video, it was during church.

Joely goes swimming

Another one of Sarah's kids, Joely, wanted to jump in the water because he thought it would be funny. Of course, his uncles completely encouraged this. I should mention that it was 50 degrees and the water was from the top of a mountain (so quite cold) and there was not really any drying off since it was so cold outside. Also, the river had a nice current in it. Wild kid and crazy uncles. Luckily, he thought the water was "stinky" or something so he wouldn't go through with it.

The Flakes always take it too far

So, of course, you can't have a Flake family reunion where no one gets hurt and no one does anything dangerous. Sarah decided to put her 2 year old on the zip line - "he was begging" she says. I say, if he begs to touch a hot burner, do you let him? Just kidding, Sarah. Anyway, Sarah put her little guy on and then the guys gave him and push on the zip line and well, he fell right off. Luckily he didn't fall into the rock bed/creek below. I guess it could have been worse, so we are grateful that he stopped crying after a while with no bruises or cuts.

Ashley rides again!

Ashley was probably the most graceful rider out of everyone. There was no fumbling, falling off (Cassidy), taking Matt with you (Derek) or running into people (Austin). Nice job, Ash!

Austin on the zip line

Austin decided to take his turn on the zip line, but Sarah didn't realize that she was right in his path! It was pretty funny when he almost ran her over!

Eden on the zip line? I don't think so

In this video, Justin is trying to convince Eden to go on the zip line. When she is too smart for that, he tries to put Jude (under 2 years old) on this zip line that goes across a river. I'm pretty sure if Kelsey was there he wouldn't have tried it.
