Mason’s 7th birthday party

What a fun afternoon we had today, when Addie & Lee had Mason’s party out here at our house.  This has been his party for the last several years – kids come here for hotdogs and to run in the woods – what more could you want?  Here he is with his birthday cake.img_20160917_180208

Group photo – except for June and Clara, who were still out playing in the woods, and Nathan – Stephanie Penland Hines’ youngest, who was out on the trail with Addie and his mom.  First row is Aiden, a friend of Adam’s who was spending the night with him & came along to the party, Adam, Mason, & Mason’s BFF Shepherd; second row is Aiden’s big brother Ethan – also sleeping over, Charlie, and Steph’s oldest Austin; back row is Mallory.  Fun, crazy group – and great, great day.img_20160917_183239
