Tidbits of Summer Vacation

Playing in the treehouse with McKenzie

Leaving treasures for people to find when they re-do the kitchen in 100yrs!

Visiting with Grandpa Woody

Isn't Auntie Dia the coolest?! She found this in a yard sale!!

Pig in the road when we were driving home to Grandmum's house from Auntie Dia's house...

Loading up on precious jewels

Helping Daddy hang the swings from the Maple tree


Helping Grandmum finish the floors

Of course, SWIMMING in the pond!!

Enjoying a good read and the laziness of summer vacation :)

White sand, blue sea...











We had a fantastic time in Mexico!! Relaxing, learning more spanish, eating and drinking, riding a golf cart around Isla Mujeres, visiting a sea turtle sanctuary, going to an eco-park & snorkeling & walking through jungle paths and jumping off cliffs, renting a car and driving inland to see the ruins at Chichen Itza, figuring out the local buses and ferries, reading, napping in the cabanas by the crystal clear blue sea, walking along the soft white sand beach under a full moon, weathering the sweltering heat and humidity and the rain and wind of tropical storm Dolly - all of it was fantastic!! Here are a couple of photos :)

Heading to Camp Grandmum

The whole family is headed up to CT tomorrow. It'll take us 2 days to get there but we've got tons of audio books and stuffed animals to keep us entertained! We've got lots of fun stuff planned: 4th of July celebrations (always interesting from a British perspective), Fireworks at Limerock Race Track, catching up with friends from high school, playing with cousins, swimming, tree climbing, making fairy houses, eating berries, driving the tractor... the list is endless. We'll keep you posted!
