Sam and Monique

The kids playing at the farm

This is how we kept the kids corralled

The boys were so filthy it was great.

If he were indian, Mark would be a blackfoot

Yummy watermelon

The boys climbing on the landslide.

They did not want to come down.  

Joe did not want to wear his Lightning McQueen Gloves.  He said they are for "Little Kids"

Filling Pots for the willow starts.

Joe's favorite part.  Cutting the willows.

The finished sprouts are potted in the freshly mixed soil.

This is for Nanny Jo.  Snakes are her favorite.

Fun in the sprinkler

A face only a mother could love

Joe is Eight.  A Harry Potter cake made by Janie Moon.  Joe has read the first 5 books in the last 4 months.

Cousin Janet with Ben.

Kate holding Ben.  Kate is Janet's 2nd oldest.

Aunt Judy with her daughter Janet.  

Joe throwing rocks into the mighty Columbia River.

I can't believe they got in the water.  It is frigid!  They rode the rest of the way home in their undies.

Just a sample of what the new camera is capable of doing.
