1st Annual Barker Bash

We were blessed with the company of about 60 of our friends and family at our housewarming party on July 26, 2008. It was a great success and we can't wait to have many more fun parties at our country home. Here are just a few pictures from the event. Thanks to Uncle Johnny, Dad/Diane and Christine for taking these (since I was so busy and didn't get to take any).


What a neat picture of our house with a reflection in the pond.

Isn't Rushford so cute when he is all wet!?



Rushford and Erin relax with Grandma Mary.

Our guests enjoy some "easy fishing" in the upper pond.

Rushford relaxes in the Adirondack chair.

Erin kicks him out so she can enjoy it too!

Mom and Erin pose by the creek. It ended up being a beautiful day.

A great nighttime picture of the tiki torches surrounding the middle pond. It looked like a scene out the show Survivor.
