Scanning the water for the Lake Champlain Monster.
Oldest granddaughter Isabella playing with youngest grandson Marcus.
High-tech girlies.
But Ruthanne still loves low-tech playtime as well. While we were relaxing on the deck, she disappeared into her swingset/playloft and came back down with a bucketful of mud for mud-pie making.
And the dress washed up beautifully, by the way. As did the child.
Bathtime, in fact, was always fun, loud and splashy -- silly-hair-girlies.
We took a morning to visit the Ben & Jerry's factory.
School playground fun.
And best of all, we were able to gather at our dear friends' home in Charlotte for a rather rainy day BBQ.
Evie and Jaycee - Kaye Ellen's daughter.
We sort of forced Kaye's son Kenneth to hold Marcus so we could get a shot of "the boys." I think Kenneth was afraid he'd get leaked on or something.
Some of the big kids: Sarah, Josh, Kaye and Adam (Sarah's husband).
Bella, Kenneth, Evie and Jaycee.
Last time these kids were together (Josh and Stephanie's wedding), they looked like this:
Evie was only 4 months old.
The week went by all too quickly, of course. I'm already planning another gathering, here in Florida perhaps. --cds
