We are back!

Okay, we found a way to upload our pictures, not convenient but it works - a converter drive reader/writer.

So, here are MaCall and Eloise with friend Stella who spent a few days with us last week and this is our view of Silverwood lake - a very nice place to play.










This is Little Corona where we spent an afternoon with Lori, Martin and Cassie. Below is one of those pictures Lori said "don't you dare..." so I had to. It is just my nature.


Yesterday we had Lori, Martin, Cassie, Mike and all of the Jackman kids over in the afternoon. The kids spent most of the time outside but soon tired of our yard so I told Hunter and Dylan that they could play in the empty lot next door. When I went to check on them I found them in the oak tree having a great time! Though when I asked if they wanted Franz to help them down they said yes. Soon, all of the kids were over there and spent several hours gathering bits of wood, broken branches etc and making forts. It was good old fashioned fun! The sort you can't get from electronic media. Yes, Hunter tore his jeans from rear to knee and Dylan was dusty dirty head to toe, but well worth it. My girls also had a great time and would never have ventured over there had it not been for the cousins, aunt and uncle. At one time Mike was in the tree as well. Good day.

No problem! I think it is good for the cousins to spend time together and develop relationships. Like I said, your kids gave my girls courage to try something they wouldn't have otherwise. I'm even thinking of going up in that tree...
