White Space...literally

I do not know what is up with all the great big white spaces in everything that I blogged tonight. I'm sorry, but I am too tired to try to fix it! You'll be encouraged to hear that I'm about half way through with blogging our summer vacation. Good thing too as school starts in a month! In the future you can look forward to shots of the Falcon & Cline/Williams mass immigration to MN for the State Fair, Caleb playing soccer, Christian and Caleb playing the violin, Bruce, Christian and Caleb all playing guitar together, and Gabriel and Bonsai just being their silly and completely photogenic selves. I'm tired and I'm going to bed now. We continue to pray for all those affected by the MN Hwy 35 bridge tragedy and ask that you join us in doing so.

The many moods of Rachel and Emma!

Focussed



















Pensive


















Jubilant

The Smithwick Family

The Smithwick men, Chuck and Owen, grapple with the ferocious Falcons...












while the lovely ladies, Shay and Teri, frollick in the surf and sand!

The Falcon Boys and Friends

Run, Christian, run!














X & O














This kid would not crack a smile all day!


















I swear, every time that I tried to take a picture of Gabriel, Chuck bent over and showed his butt!!!!

A whole Mess of Young 'ens at the beach!

Note how densely populated the beach in Avon, NC, is the week before the Fourth of July! Nothing like having to fight to find a spot to relax by the ocean!

Dance, girl, dance!

Here comes a big one!

Christian takes relaxing "in the surf" very seriously!

The Wright Brothers National Memorial - June 2007

Replica of the Wright Brothers' Plane













No, we don't look like tourists!












What's a vacation without a group shot of everyone squinting into the sun?!















I just realized that he's dressed like he's special forces or a swat team member! What's up with that?













Would you look at how far their little legs had to walk? It's no wonder, that when they came home that day, they said they weren't leaving the beach house again until it was time to go back to MN!

The rest of the Wright Brothers National Memorial tour

Gabriel says, "Hang Loose, Brah Dah!"















Serious Christian, Questing Owen, and "You have dot to be kidding!" Gabriel.















The sign says it all!














A four armed pilot might not be a bad thing!














Now, we get a smile out of this kid!

Rehobeth Beach, DE - July 2, 2007

This picture is for Sheila, who almost went into anaphylactic shock when we stepped off of the boardwalk onto the moderstely crowded beach. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I'd seen worse! Compare this scene to the photos that I took in Avon, NC and you may understand her surprise.

The Boys at Rehobeth Beach

The two boys from MN are smiling and the one from DE appears to be shocked. Do you think the water is cold?






















Surfs up, dudes!


























Son of the Big Cahuna!


























That was TOTALLY WICKED!






































A finely tuned sense of 'when to get the heck out of dodge' seems to go along with the McInerney genes!

Spidermans, Spidermans...

How many kids can you fit into a small car driven by Spiderman?














Have you ever seen anyone happier to be driven by an inanimate superhero?
