Back on the water

Thanks to the urgings of our visiting daughter and grandchildren, we were able to get our double kayak out on the water--only with little ones along it acted as a "triple" and even a "quad" this time!


Note to self: do not envy the owners of those "deep water frontage" homes we paddled past ... just keep reminding yourself of their astronomical property tax bills... =:O

Happy little tree climber

For such a tiny little thing, Maribeth is a mighty confident climber. She loved climbing high up in the old apple tree in the backyard--this was back when we had sunshine...before the deluge that has kept us indoors began.

Third cousins

We're just back from a family reunion and I simply had to share this photo of the group of third cousins who were there. When the photo was taken most of them were still damp from swimming !
