Our History to go along with our present that you are going to share with us.

Back in 1982 David loved to play video games down at the old Tasty Cave. Not the kind of games the kids play today, but the first real arcade games that took a quarter to play. On these old time machines if you had the most points then you could enter your initials as high scorer. Because we were together and in love he wanted to put both of our initials up. I laughed and loved the idea. At first we said, DAT David and Toinia, but David said, "NO" it would be and will always be "TAD" Toinia and David and he wanted the whole world to know it. (Keystone was our whole world) Aww kind of cute right. Well now all these years later it is not just TAD but a few more. 10 to be exact. Miranda, David, James, Mary, Stephen, Aaron, Sarah, Daniel, Lawre, and baby Krissy. So you see we are Just a TAD more then when we first started out.

Mary's Birthday was Sept. 5 and James' is the 25th. To celebrate it they asked us if they could have the youth from church come to the lake to have some good old Walker Water Fun! We ended up with around 21 between 15 and 25 I think. I was so thankful that two other moms and dads came to give us a hand. It was nice visiting with them while the boat was full of kids out on the lake. I still am not sure how many David had at one time out there but I know it was a lot. I was on the beach most of the day so I gave my camera to the kids on the boat to take pictures. I think they had a good time with it. I didn't take hardly any pic.
The Girls Just Want to Have Fun!



Here they go off the tower.

I bet there was a lot of people in the water cause the boat looks almost empty.
Levi asked Michelle to marry him later on that evening and she said...YES!
James and Mary
That just looks like it would hurt.

Self photos got to love them.


I forgot 7 things for the picnic. One of them was the cake that I had made for James' and Mary's Birthday. James didn't mind I had plenty of Little Debbie's which are his favorite.
People split up in groups and ate around on different picnic tables.


While they played volley ball after lunch the older adults went for a ride in the boat.


I don't know what is up about these pictures, but I had a bunch of pictures like this one.
Every time the boat stopped it was like a Chinese fire drill. Everyone abandoned ship. Some from the top of the tower. Like rats jumping a sinking ship.







Mary and Cynthea don't look up!
What hit us?

Thanks to all of you who came out and made it such a special day for them.

This past weekend we spent two days at Wild Adventures with Camp Sunshine. You could not have asked for better weather or people to share the days with. It was a well organized and executed event. Our family enjoyed it immensely.



As you can see we had to hardly ever wait in line for a ride. This is one of the roller coasters.


Krissy was fine on this with Daddy until she saw me and then she started to cry.

She was all excited to ride on the tiger.
Until it started to move.


Lawre has the map and was making sure we were in the right place to ride on his favorite ride, the train.

Come on Mommy you will miss it.
We are on the train, I'm so happy.
We saw elephants
a zebra, Crack-a-lacking
a camel
and also some very cute critters

After a great meal the handlers for the animals came and showed off some special animals for the children.

Stephen was excited about this bird. We had watched it earlier in its cage and now he was able to hold it. Wow he said.

It tickles
Learning how to transfer one arm to the next.
He pooped everywhere

Waiting for James to come with our bathing suits so we can go play at the water park.
Daddy said n0 climbing on the fence
but Krissy looked so cute that I had to take a pic before getting her down.
It was very hot 99 degrees. We went over to the water park to cool off.
When we got there we had the place to our selves.
Krissy was leaning over and putting her head under water
then standing up laughing at her self.
Daddy stealing kisses again.

There was also a lazy river, big slides, and a wave pool. I just didn't take my camera with me when we went to them. Between this and the lazy river was the kids favorite thing to do.



Day 2

You have to truly appreciate this picture. David had Krissy, Lawre, and Daniel while I was with Sarah, Aaron and Stephen trying to see how many times we could ride this one roller coaster. There was no line and we would jump off and run all the way around to jump back in.
Very Cool:)
Mean time David was trying to put the little ones on a ride and take a picture, but by the time he put them on and took care of Krissy then get the camera out and ready, the ride was over.
Kiss theif
Daniels all time best ride, he said.



Can you believe this picture
David did so good with it
That is Lawre and me
Aaron and Sarah
Stephen and Daniel
I'll do this any day rather then sit at the hospital.


David was trying to get this pic while we were flying by. Stephen
and Aaron are on top and then it is me and Sarah next.
Very cool roller coaster!



This ride swung back and forth and the wagon wheel would spin all at the same time.

I had ridden rides with the children for two days and had had enough when we came to the "Sidwinder". We did not watch it before the kids jumped on and the attendant said Lawre could go with an adult. I said to David I have had enough so he said I will go on with him. For those of you who remember grad night we talked David on "Space Mt." and when the ride was over he crawled of on his hands an knees and said he would kill us. Well this ride made Space Mt seem easy cause at least then he was in the dark and couldn't see. This ride almost killed him! Now I owe him big time.

Aloha time to say good buy!

Can you say never!!! Sarah, Stephen, and Aaron loved it. Lawre and Daniel wanted to go on but were to short.
