Christopher being himself, silly.
I just love my new hair doo.   Can you tell it was windy?  She loved the wind.

Daniel pushing the girls.   Sophia, having just discovered shadows, is making sure her's stays right with them.

We played Dominos a couple of times. Pam and Sheri's rules finished a game in about thirty minutes.   Next time we played with Daniel's rules (you know, from the book ... the way you're actually supposed to play) and that game took about three hours.   We laughed so hard I ended up on the ground.   It was a blast.

Talking around the campfire.

All the kids joined in.

Janice, in her typical "mom" mode, was always cleaning up.  We did get a few pictures of her relaxing.

This is another artsy fartsy picture by Greg.   The effect was created using delayed shutter on Christmas lights.

Wow! Those smores were good.

Come on, can't a girl eat with out the paparazzi?   Don't ask about my right shoe.

Okay I am ready for my photo shoot.   Oh yes, she did eat that shoe!

Daddy standing proud with one of his little girls.

Now with both.

Papi standing proud with both girls Sophia and Sarah.

Christopher found a bridge and wanted us to join him.

This boy loves to climb things.

He was waving at the ducks being chased away by Benji and Angie chasing the dog into the water.

Sophia, you are just too cute for words, baby girl.

All kids in lock down after the chase.

Just call him Bird Dog.   Benji and Angie went swimming in the river a few times. Benji wanted to swim for the birds.   Angie had to swim to save her dog.

The day of truth: Sheri about to ride the tube and Angie to water ski.

Angie was in heaven driving the boat.  She looks right at home, doesn't she?

I can't believe  they are going in that cold water.

This is the life.   Did someone say something?

.

Wetsuit I haven't worn in 20 years, $100. Tube that says "Airhead" on the side to describe just how I'm feeling, $90. November water so cold that my nipples can cut glass, "priceless".

See the smile on her face?   I don't think she was having fun.

.	Way back there are two sticks poking out of the water.   That is Angie.

Up.   Up.   Uuuuupppp she comes.

You go girl!

She did great on the ski's ... only fell once.

We all had fun on the water.

End of the day sunset.

These boats are waiting for the sun to go down so we got a chance to view them for quite a while before the parade.   The music they played was "Do you see what I see?" Cut to Pam and Sheri on the shore wearing nothing but a couple of bonnets.   I was too shocked and surprised to get even one picture.

I had to look away when the snowbirds caught my eye.   The next thing that went through my mind was "do they realize that these all these boats are Sheriffs?   The answer was "NO".

Christopher and Susan waving down Santa's boat to get him to stop by.   But he didn't, and Christopher was so mad.   I explained to him that Santa was coming by to see if he was being good.   Christopher looked up at me and said "I be good".   I told him he was.   So when he was not looking, I got a piece of  candy and told him that Santa stopped and gave it to me for him.   He was so excited that he ran around telling everyone Santa gave him a piece of chocolate.

Christopher Loves spending time with Susan.   She is great with him.

Some of the group watching the boats go by now.
