Summer

 When the landscaper is done moving things, he likes to nap.  Or pretend to, under a blanket of children.

 The girls lining up their friends for breakfast.

 We joined a pool.  The girls love it.

The boy doesn't mind it, either.

House is Done!

 Our new house is all done . . .

. . . or all the parts we paid someone else for.  The yard work is ongoing.  At least our landscaper is cheap.


The resulting giant pile of wood chips got distributed, and replaced by this giant pile of stone.  6 tons worth.  We're expecting another 6 tons when the gravel store gets more in.

 The Ida's and Miki's came all the way to the East!  Ella led Pete and I on a death march to the beach. It was so rough Miki passed out.

Leigh found some seaweed.

 The next day we went to the children's museum in Middletown.  Who doesn't like an in-flight movie?

 Ida and Miki got trapped in a UFO.

 Ida helped gather fish in the cannery.  This was before big Uncle Dan laughed at her, causing her to hide in distress.

 Uncle Pete fixing the jam we caused in the fish conveyor belts.

 Those girls sure like the beach, even when it is a gloomy day.  Miki likes to get naked.

 Danny and Ida got along great,..

 Scary masks!
