EKC family weekend. Noah W P

I went with the K for a weekend at EKC. It was a great time. Jack did not go. He is not a camper. Never went to any camp as a child. He stayed behind and partied with friends. He also confessed that he bought and made chicken livers for lunch.
We went tubing.

Laura laid on top of Mollie to keep her on the tube. But they fell off.

Look at my hair!




Kayaking and canoeing

Here is our cabin



Meals are fine. Every lunch there is a wonderful salad bar. You can always have bananas, Apples, other fruit and peanut butter sandwiches any time of day. They put out adult snacks later in the evening. Friday night is a sabbath dinner. It is matzoh ball soap, roast chicken, potatoes, and vegetables. Fresh challahs. Saturday night is a cookout. We has a campfire with some mores . Swim party with a DJ. Talent night for the kids. Many activities for everyone.

Jen and Jon PP with Jordan and Julius.

Abe and friend

The pool is two years old. It has a large swimming pool with slides. A diving pool. And a shallow pool for the teens to sit and flirt. That pool has water spouts and buckets of water falling for high.

The K donated money for the pool.


Then there was the Zip Lining. I have never done it and think I will continue to be photographer. Abe was sick for the day. He had gotten booster shots the day before and was running a temp. M and N got to do it two times each. The first time Mollie got stuck in the middle and they had to walk out and bring her it with a rope. She was not unset at all. She shouted to us, " it looks harder that it is". Here is a view of the area.

. Getting harnessed up.

Off to the art area to tie dye a shirt. Ellen S is lucky that M did not get any paint on her. She certainly got it all over her face and arms.




Ellen S came to the weekend with her adult daughter, niece and husbands and had a blast.
Noah W P birth and bris.
Paternal grandparents are Indian. So it was their first briss.
N and J have been adopted grandparents to my grandkids. Having movie nights and helped to care for them. I am thrilled that they now have their own grandson.
Jack and I were honored to be included in the event. They used the same table cloth that we used for A and N. So it is now the official bris table cloth!






Adley and family went to visit the other two families from the adoption in China. Here is a picture of the three little girls. They had a good time playing together.

Quiet week. Painting bathrooms. VH in HHI

The VH went to HHI for the week. Arrived on 8/17. Emma could not understand where the grandparents were if it was their beach house. The first morning it was off to the beach. Sadie got bit by a jelly fish and they are back to the pool.



Afternoon nap in the burley.

We are a little concerned about our resident alligator that like to travel from pool to pool and the lagoon and back to the tidal creek. They are not supposed to be in salt water but Elvis does not seem to know that. A renter saw a mother and baby swimming in the tidal creek and shot this picture.

We are now painting the bathrooms after putting in the new toilets. The two upstairs bathrooms were a BAD color. So we are painting everything a gray, which is the color of the powder room. But the painter did not get a good match of the color. We only needed to repaint one wall in the powder room. He got paint on another wall. So we will paint that wall also and have two shades of gray in the powder room. Should be interesting. The lighter color is a pale gray. When you start a project, it does not always turn out the way planned. And it grows. We did not plan to paint. Never-thought about behind the old toilets the paint no being correct.
