Visiting Gma and Gpa

Here we are at the end of the week. We had a great day at Wright's--paddling, swimming, rock climbing, fishing, bird watching, and eating hotdogs! Check out the bald eagle, which was competing with two osprey for fish.

Carol Mitchel taught Carissa and Gma how to can wheat!Ben, who attends the University of I Must Touch Everything, spent some time with us

We picnicked at Discovery Park one night, with Kirk and Carrie. We wondered where all the crowds were. When the flies and meat bees showed up to share dinner, we understood why we were alone. Kirk and Carrie had prepared ice cream at their cute apartment, so we trooped over there and had a lovely end to the evening.

A workin' man---Derek picking pears and creating a handy item with the drill press.
