Another Catskills trip, more photos..

We went up to visit Aunt Lisa, Uncle Mark, Sara and Alyssa last weekend, and had a fun little hike up in the Catskills.

Here's Aunt Lisa helping CJ on the trail:



Here's CJ and Alyssa hanging out on a neat rock:



And here's the group shot. I managed to get everyone looking at the camera except Bogart (my parents' yellow lab).



One last pic, from earlier in the month -- CJ still has that shoe fetish:

Cooling off

This past Sunday we went up to the Catskills to visit my sister and her daughter, and also swim in a cool mountain stream. It was a completely successful outing.



I'll post the group shot tonight, hopefully.

Reunion get-together

A week and a half ago, we got together with four of the five families with whom we travelled. The other family had cold/flu issues; the odds of six girls being healthy enough to get together at one point are pretty slim. Factor in the complexities of family schedules and it's a miracle that we had such a great turnout!







We put the five girls on the couch for a group photo. This was the best one from my biased opinion (i.e., CJ was looking at my camera):



Keeping the five of them on that couch, of course, wasn't exactly an easy task...



Hopefully, I'll have some more photos to post at some point soon. I'm only one and a half weeks behind now...
