Cody

After the Melba event, we dropped the truck and trailer off at the house and went straight to Vetran's Park to celebrate Cody's 17th birthday.

Mmmmm. . . donuts. . . .

After the gift-opening and the birthday donuts, a bunch of us took a walk. . .

The girl in pink is Cody's cousin on the other side of the family. She and Gloria only see each other a couple of times a year but they get along great and enjoy getting together. . .



McKenna had fun throwing rocks in the water. . .

There were lots of good photo ops . . .







Cody took us along the path to the place where he swam a lot during the summer . . .

. . . and he actually got in the water!! It wasn't freezing outside but it was definitely below 80 degrees. Maybe even 75!! I got the chills just watching!!

I couldn't decide if he was being brave or stupid when he grabbed ahold of the rope swing and jumped into the water!!

I think it was a little of both and he did it several times!!

Kelsey decided to try it, too, although she just dove in without getting wet first!

Brrrrrrrr. . . .

The sun was going down as we walked back . . .


Rob can't resist skipping stones. . .

The younger girls weren't allowed to jump into the water but we did let them wade in a little bit. Gloria said it wasn't even cold. . . yeah, right. . .





This was the last of the summer birthday parties. . .
