Visiting

Szabicots came to town last week! They tented on our lawn and it hardly even rained on them.

Here are the kids enjoying some Uncle Redinbockers while the cool adults watched So You Think You Can Dance. The uncool adults were somewhere doing uncool things.


The first night they were here, the tent hadn't been seam-leak-proofed yet, so there was an indoor camp-out in the kids' bedroom. It only took them about 2 1/2 hours to fall asleep. Elora and Sage were the most stubborn, still awake at 10:30pm.

Thursday Jake, the boys, Carol, the girls, and Grampa went blueberry picking. The season for berries was late this year because of how little sun we've had. In my opinion, summer should go into October to make up for it.

There were no berries picked for home. They were all eaten on the spot.

Stop for snack on a rock.

Sage falling over.

The only photo with Jake in it.. ok just his shadow, but still.

The Berry Pickers

This little guy was the focal point of the kids' attention for a while. Unfortunately when it was time to go, the kids all stood up and Squishy, as he'd come to be known, suffered an untimely fate.. Elora stomped him.

Ahh! Squishy II! Fortunately he did not get squished.

Kids played "slide down the trecherous rock but stop just before the cliff" to their hearts' content.

The cliff is behind my dad there. Ahh nice and safe. Adult supervision.

Hey!! Where did the supervision go??!! Note the cliff behind Dhara there.
