Julia talks with friend Sarah during an after church picnic. 

Getting ready for the next race in town. Julia joined us for the first time. I hope she will compete with Michael and I. I am very proud of Michael and how he has developed a nice stride and he is getting fast. Go to my running blog to see more photos @ http://phototjpt1.blogspot.com/ 

This perspective we rarely see. I thought it looked pretty cool. 

Early morning breakfast. Oh the joys of camping. Our first camping trip of the year and it's already October. 

Walking down one of the nature trails. Johnathan leads the pack. 

All of the kids from 3 families.  

Lydia watches a spider crawling out of a water spout 

Taking a break, 3rd generation Joe Bickham takes a handful of crackers to feed the ducks at the lake while mom and paw paw watch patiently. 

The Bickham family takes refuge in Herbert Hall while waiting for hurricane Katrina.

I guess these are Canada geese flying over our house. They rested at the lake. There must have been about 60. 

We started with blue morning glories years ago, they became purple blooms the year after and now we are starting to get some pink. 

Michael has been joining me in the mornings when I run. He is in training for the next race. The Run for Education, Oct 15th. So far he is doing OK. He is posing in front of our morning glory vines that take over our front porch every Summer and early fall. 

Bananna Spider in the Garden. These spiders get very large and scarey. Beth was weeding when she found this one.
