What a thursday!

Maggie is obviously excited about her big day...she really loves the mornings.
Mommy and Maggie at the Cracker Barrell...on a barrell (well Maggie anywas).
Daddy and Maggie at the rafting center.
Maggie is exhausted from all the fun.

Well, this saturday Tyler has to go to presbytery to discuss RUF stuff, so our family had a saturday on thursday if you will. We started the morning at Cracker Barrell. Maggie sat next to the door so as people (mostly older) came in they ooed and ahhed over her, she slept through the attention (so we think...she could have been faking). Anywas, after the Barrell we headed to the US rafting center and ran into our friend Jennifer (a manager at the park) and tons of kayaking Olympic candidates. It was really fun to watch them come down through the course. But, on the way home things got dark. Tyler hit not one but two squirrels in less than thirty seconds with our car. You've heard of two birds with one stone, well try two squirrels with one dodge (which they did not do). We were still pretty close to the park so it might be the water. I have no clue, but we were only going like 30 mph when we hit them, it was like slow motion. It was terrible. Maggie thankfully was asleep and we're hoping not scarred from her mother's blood curdling cry...just kidding...I only said "Tyler you hit ANOTHER squirrel(not in a proud way, but in a sort of shocked way)." SO, those are the Dirk's family adventures from this thursday.

I'm proud of you, Tyler. And my grandfather is probably happy that there are two less squirrels.
