Bedtime Story on the Porch
Snuggling with Grammie for a bedtime story.
A beautiful setting and a beautiful book.
On the Boat
Learning to drive the boat.
Leah catches a fish with Uncle Caleb.
Uncle Caleb catches a fish with Leah.
More fish!
(I would like to say that I, Laura, am still the perch princess. I just
had the camera the whole time, so there is no record of it. You'll
have to trust me.)

Zoe and Her Fish
I'm impressed that Uncle Caleb got a picture of her looking so
"one with nature." She usually doesn't look this way.
A Zoe fish!
Leah and Her Fish
These are all in a matter of about 10 minutes. Needless to say,
as her fishing tally reached into the dozens I became a little
less thorough in my photography.
A Family of Fisherpeople
Leah is intense about her fishing. Check out that cast.
Grampa helps oversee the fishergirls.
Peter has to be a full time guide with these 2. Lots of fish means lots of help.
Zoe is less intense about fishing. She waits for me to catch something on her
line and yells, "I caught a fish! Let me pet it!"
Nice juxtaposition of intense and not so intense.
"Up North" with Luke
Reading to her cousin at the beginning of our week "Up North."

Lemonade Stand
We were invited to a wonderful brunch at a friend's house. Since all
of our kids had been begging to open lemonade stands, we decided
to do it all as a group. Sadly, the only customers were the parents
and 1 neighbor. So the begging continues.

She took a class where at the local theater where
they "wrote" a play and then performed it. She
