(poor Gabe)

Off We Go

Hello Everyone, Sorry For not updating in soooooo Long
But we havent had internet forr awhile.
Enjoy

And Once again the Pollock family is taking "ANOTHER TRIP!!" WOW

My View, the whole trip !

And the front seat the whole trip:)

Sweet James finally falls asleep:)

"The Sun is setting in the West,

The cattle go down to the stream,

The Redwood settles in her nest,

It's Time for a cowboy to dream,

Purple eyes in the canyon,

That' s where I long to be,

With my three good conpanions,

My Rifle, Pony, and me,
(Song off of "Rio Brovo")

Our Destination, the "Defending your Faith Conference" in Branson Missouri

Liv and Kitty kindly take time out of their stressful
Busy schedules to stand up straight and try to
make a somewhat pleasant Smile. Ha ha:)

This is actually a very nice picture of Olivia Michele Pollock and
Her Very Sweet companion Miss Anna Kathleen Discher.
On a scale from 1 to 10 I would have to give it an 8.... Now I
Would rate it a ten But there is a slight Blurr, The date is slightly cut off
on the lower right corner, And also if you would notice the date was set
wrong, and The Man standing behind them, his bag has a Bright
reflection from the Light in front of them, But other than that I would
definately rate it a 10.

The Boys Gather

Amanda and Billy Bob

"I'm SOOOO excited to be here!!!"

For Lunch we all gather for a picnic lunch at the campground.

"Mmmmm that food sure looks Good"

Daddy and Mr. Stricklen doin a little tap dancing, clogging or maybe
"Lord of the Dance"

Now on a scale from 1 to 10, I'd definately rate this a 2....Ha ha ha
Very nice picture, Very,very nice picture:)

Mrs Discher and "SPIKY EMMY"
Enjoying a great Lunch

Now this is one good fiddle player !!

Lets get into some of that good ol' toe tappin, Gospel Bluegrass

"Are you washed in the Blood
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb"

"Boy oh boy, Didn't we just sound Stupendous, Magnificent, Maggreevy Marvil !!
There's not a word in the world to express how splandifrously we played"

Did someone say "camera"

Alrighty, then!!

:)

Trying to peacefully walk around during the intermission.
Did I say Peacefully? Notice: James and Joey are walking with us.
So as many would know, it is very hard to walk peacefully with two little
Boys who have been sitting all day inside, without being able to run around outside
for many hours.

Ring around "with" Rosie

All the Ladys talking.
And "The Imposter"

Liv (obviously)

Yay, time to go to the creek and take a dip!!

A little dip'll do ya

Ahhh, sooo relaxing. What a life!!

Gabriel See's the camera...........Gabriel Smiles!!

Daming up the creek.

Art

We found him when we started to climb "his" tree, at one of the properties we
went to look at.

Um..... Thats definately Olivia....Yup, no doubt about it.....

Looky what we found. A Creek. Of course no creek gets passed us without being invaded.

The creek on one of the Properties we looked at.

Not quite big enough.

The field

Nice

The big. really nice house....NOT!!
Liv was excited!!

The Real house.... Notice Liv heading to the "other" house.

She just likes the simple things in life, like "shacks". ha ha

Smile:)

Liv found her home:)

Mary off to scope out the land

Exploring

Here is proof that Liv actually owns shoes and wears them, (very rarely)

Mary holds up her flowers she picked for momma.

She did this right after being slammed onto the back of the truck while we

were exploring. (That explains the painful look)

Momma loved her flowers.

Sunday we went to "Liberty Faith Church"
and heard some awesome preaching from Pastor Kelly.
Then afterwards the Timsens invited us to the "Cajun Kettle"
and we had some nice fellowship




All the kids went ou side
While the adults stayed inside and talked.

Susanna

James and his bud

"I've been waiting sooo long for this"

Ready for a little cave exploring in Tennessee.

Liv picked this up on the way home.
