East Coast Drakes

Warning: Lots and Lots of Picture... mostly for Terra!
The East Coast Drake Family
Anna, Carlie, Rachel, and Sarah Jane!
The girls had a lot of fun playing together!

This kid is just too cute... look at all that chub!
Playing RBI Baseball on the Nintendo... it's a tradition!
Can you guess who the favorite uncle is? Uncle Sam... he's a push over when it comes to these kids!
Best Buddies/Cousins... Spencer and Felix
Best Buddies/Cousins... Grady and Adam
Grady, Abigail, and Sarah Jane
The three BSU Graduates!
A tradition when Zach and Terra come into town... we go to the Boise State campus and go to the bookstore and then go to see the Bronco.The future BSU students!
Grady got bored at the bookstore.
Another tradition... Yummy!
The little Drake kids minus the little boys.
apparently they don't like smiling into the sun!
Uncle Sam playing with Grady and Sarah Jane... Grandpa in the background playing with the other kids.
We took the kids to see Toy Story 3... such a funny movie, they loved it!
Grandma Charlotte watching Toy Story with her Grandkids.
They all wanted to sit by her!

Breakfast with this crew was a lot of fun!
Grandpa Randy reading to Sarah Jane, Abigail, and Carlie. These girls love to be read to, they love Grandpa!
Zach and Delbert Ririe holding Adam Delbert Drake.
Mom and Dad watched the kids for us while we went to Olive Garden for dinner with the Riries... good food and a great time!
Del Ririe was one of the great young men leaders that helped make Zach and Gus into the great missionaries, husbands, fathers, and men that they are today... I am thankful for the faithful men that not only fulfilled their callings but loved the young men they were serving!
The tie exchange... ugly ones... I have to admit that they are growing on me!
We are so glad that Zach, Terra, and the kids were able to come this year. The last time they were here was two years ago, when Sarah Jane was just 2 months old... we got to meet Abigail and Adam for the first time, while they met Grady. We loved having them stay with us, they are so easy to have around and the kids have a blast together! We love you guys!

Thanks so much for posting these. We really did have such a good time with all of our family there. We just wish it could be more than once every couple of years!
