skiing today

We finally got a chance to try our new x-c skis today! YAY! There
probably wasn't really enough snow, but we did it anyway! FUN!

The toothless wonder

Rachel changed out of her dress so she could tussle with Graham.

Keith is a very obliging model. :-D

Banana on the Bridge

Whenever we camp at South Meadows, it is my custom to walk down to the bridge each morning. It gives Erwin a little extra time to sleep (sometimes we'll go down again together), plus I love the meadow.
It calls to me; I cannot resist. Every morning is different, and every morning is beautiful. This day it was sprinkling sporadically, as it was for much of our trip, but I was able to snap some photos nevertheless.

Workin' on the trip journal and poem

It was downright cold at night.

Cloud over lake of the Clouds

Of course, you can't see the Lake here, it's just on the other side.
(Behind Keith).

On the escarpment trail

We loved this trail!

Graham

for once, an almost decent picture of him.

The birthday Boy with Grandpa

If you only could have seen the delight on both their faces as Grandpa
held out his arms to Nathaniel and Nathaniel came running over.

Too much partying!

Sophia couldn't hold out any longer!

lighting the marshmallows

Nathaniel turned three!  The family has a tradition of burning

marshmallows instead of candles.  Neil is Keith's son, who's just back
from Iraq and leaving again shortly for more training in Texas.  The
bird is Arthur.  He likes parties.

Tahquamenon

Keith took this of me at Tahquamenon--where we met six years ago--we
revisted many of the places important to us when we first met. A sort
of "honeymoon" remembrance trip.
