Roofing our house.
Last week we had the Nelson reunion at our house and we put a new roof on. They camped on our lawn and we cooked food on the deck. At night we had a bonfire. We spent about an hour on Friday evening preparing the roof and planning it and then it took about 8 hours on Saturday to finish the roof. We would like to thank Don and Joan Anderson for coordinating and planning everything. And we would like to thank those that helped on the roof: Jon and Jameson Nelson, .. Don, Shawn and Ryan Anderson, .. Mark Nelson and his son in law Dallas... Hal Roberts.. Zed Jenson .. (was just home from Europe and staying with us) Eric Miller..
I am really grateful for the help as it saved us a lot of money. Especially where Hal is leaving on a mission. Those that helped us contributed greatly to the expense of a mission.
A lot of these pictures show the fun as well as the roofing. I wish I would have taken a picture of how everybody was camped on our lawn.

| A little experiment. Zed and Hal see how many rubberbands it takes to blow up a watermelon. They continue to add rubberbands one by one until eventually the thing blows. I'll put up the video on my youtube page. |

Mark really liked the sunrise so I put him in with it.

All done. I'm the last one off. We finished by 3:00 pm
