4 days of Nature in Arkansas

We learned some new ways to talk... and also fished, learned cave lingo, ate catfish with green tomato relish, listened to folk music jammin', canoed, chased a few animals and had a blast....

GG's

Bruno, the Diversity Mascot

Chris birthday was hot one!

Not the celebration really, just the day.... the heat index (yes, we have those here in KC!) was something like 118!

This is almost as good as being in CO!

Have you lost your noodle?

We were invited to be at Lake Lotwana by our friends the Clemows, to join in the attempt to break the  World Record of most people in water on a noodle. Last record was 940, unofficial count is 1555 for last Saturday. Water temp was 90, air was over 100, so this was the place to hang out....  There were boat parades, water fights, bands, skiing competitions and fun had by all for sure!

Champs!

The GG's (that is Gunderson Girls, not Gunderson Gills) finish another successful summer swim season, making their parents proud!
