Competitive Spirit

One thing all Fraher-Hare's have in common - their competitive spirit.  Whether it's water balloon tossing, wiffle ball, dancing, singing, telling jokes or drinking... there is a hard core competitor in each and every one of them.
From random pick-up games.

To more organized activities
Team Blue

Team Red













The thrill of victory

And agony of defeat

And be careful what you volunteer for!

We start 'em young.















And push our physical limits at all ages



























Even the bad joke telling is...





Well, it's just bad.


Latest Adventures

Two 9+ hour road trips with two under two in less than a month.  I don't recommend it.  We've had a great time but it will be good to be home for a while.  

Our most recent adventure was to Locust Grove, AR to spend the Fourth with family at the Fraher-Hare reunion.  Cousins, Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents... a gaggle of 30 gather here every other year to have all kinds of crazy fun.  And fun we did have.  Here is the first of several blog installments to document our trip.

Welcome Family!

Although remote and completely unplugged (little cell and no wifi), it's a really beautiful spot on the White River.  Here is one particular morning sunrise (thanks to our little early riser, Fletcher).

We shared our space with lots of critters.  Some welcome.  Some not so much.  Snakes, turtles, beavers, mice, butterflies, chiggers, wasps and these itty bitty bats.

We eat really well.  Chef Joe knows how to take care of this crew.

We get our pool on!
We kayak up the river in search of even more critters. 




We celebrate birthdays.

And get our drink on too.

Everyday Laughs

When we're not dealing with new terrible-two-tantrums, we generally share a lot of laughs over everyday nonsense.  It's the little things that make our days so special.

This girl loves her cheerios.

Beep, beep.  Let's go!

More bows please!

The girl who NEVER before had an interest in TV, wanted a front row seat over breakfast this morning.

 Fletcher, as always, demonstrating how to be the good kid.
