"Labor" Day


We waited until the crowds thinned out and then took the grandniece and nephews for some fun in the sun. I didn't expect to enjoy it for a couple reasons: a little worn out from spending the night hovering over Halmoni in the hospital, never much cared for motorized boats (although under certain conditions the sea-doo can be a pleasant experience), and, watching over that many kids who can't swim is a bit of a handful. But, they loved it so much it was totally worth it. In the pic I was trying to get them to pose. NOT! The three year old is in front. He never wanted to get off. He wanted to drive the thing! The 6 yr old was too scared to sit anywhere except in the middle. But didn't seem concerned about the possibility that his younger sister might fall off sitting in the back. And, the 5 yr old was pouting because she wanted to be in the front. But, when I DID let her in the front, she kept grabbing the gas lever to make it go "faster Weh-su-mo, faster!"

Just Can't Stop Blogging



We played hooky this past weekend and took a little excursion. If anyone (other than Mama KAS or Mama Bird and anyone they may have already told) manages to guess where this is I'll go ahead and put up the Harvest Moon post on my other blog a little bit early.

Hint: Kayaking was forbidden in this particular lake but we were able to use them in another one close by. The funny thing was that we almost put the kayaks in here before reading the regulation against it.

Life Goes On

Yeah, I know I said I was off blogging temporarily but, real quick, here some pics of our saner moments. This has been a great summer for the peaches in the backyard. Been giving them away by the sackful to whoever will take them. Problem is, it is a good year for everyone's peaches!

Back from Camping

And we sure had a good time. The pic is of Mr. Sunny and our "bro-friend" sailing out of that cove AGAINST the wind. (Not very easy-made it nice to get BACK to camp however).

Friday night sky

We had a fabulous lightning storm Friday at about dusk. Could not manage to get a single picture of it but did get this pic from the southerly direction



And this one to the North East


And one due West

Cute little kid contest

Not really but if there was one this little cutie would take it away. A bunch of us went to a (very nice) county park yesterday for a picnic. This kid was enamored with playing in the stream. I think she needs one in her backyard.

Reunion Photos


Here, in order of age, is the reason the reunion takes place. Although I have to hand it to the younger generation-they plan to continue with "cousin" reunions after we old fogies are dead and gone.


Someone called this "double trouble". Can't imagine why. WE weren't the ones having trouble. BTW, every single human in this photo is part of the clan.
