Grandikids Visit


Putting up the tent



Getting everything ready for smores



The best part...eating the smores!



Everybody in the outrigger canoe



The Intrepid Explorers


Our grandkids, C & J, came for a weekend visit and brought both of their parents with them. We had a great campfire waiting for them when they arrived...had barbecue kabobs for dinner and then stoked up the fire for some smores. It's always great when they come visit. This time they decided to set up a tent with wall to wall air mattresses and, all in all, they seemed to be very comfortable in there.

On Saturday we decided to rent an outrigger canoe and paddle up river a ways. We went upriver for about an hour and then slowly worked our way back down to the dock. This was the kids first time on the water. They seemed to enjoy it although C was anxious to get back...staying in one place for two hours was tough on her. The outrigger canoe was extremely stable and there was no way, barring a dam break, that we were going to tip over. Thank goodness there are no more dams on the Big River!

Ain't life grand?

Oh my gosh, Gary . . . life IS grand! What a great time and even "Daddy" came too. Those outrigger canoes look like so much fun, I even might be up for that sometime. Great pictures, it's good to see those darling kids once again.

I bet the wall-to-wall mattress in the tent was a fun experience . . . did it help the head-knocking?

Boats - Hey what fun! - Almost as much fun as grandkids!
