Sorry I haven’t made a post in so long… I’ve been busy with cousins, birthdays, and grandparents. First stop after leaving Uncle Stephen’s was Grandad and Grandma’s (my dad’s parents), then off to the island, a few days later, to see Grampa and Grandma (my mom’s parents). Which is where we are currently! We don’t have the camper, so I haven’t been able to get photos from the camera onto my iPad. So the photos you are about to see were all taken on my iPad. I am loving all of the comments! You guys make my day when you encourage me! Thanks!!!
-
- The waterfall. Take this picture and imagine it 5x more beautiful and maybe you will capture the beauty of it.
-
- Spencer precariously balanced on a beam, I almost thought that HE would have to use my crutches…?
-
- John, Lanaya, and Cassia threw rocks into the ocean. I love how this picture has them silhouetted, it was so beautiful!
-
- My sisters and I had a blast at Grandad and Grandma’s! We spent about 45% of our time in the pool. We made routines across the pool and did them over and over again. We had races and handstand competitions, and of course, I won!? But apparently I cheated, as my legs were bent. I think I won, as both of my legs were out of the water and I didn’t fall over.
-
- The previously pruned tree, that went a whole lot smoother then the second! But that must have been because I was sitting in a chair directing which branches to cut off…?
-
- Her new gel bike seat…so jealous!?
-
- One of Spencer’s birthday presents! Do not try when on crutches…? It is rather difficult to balance on one foot on a moving object while pushing yourself around with crutches.? You will most likely just hurt youself all over again…
-
- Grandma banned me from the playground.? Apparently you aren’t supposed to play grounders with an injured ankle??
-
- It was a lot of fun on the ferry with my second cousins, who were going to visit their grandparents while we were on our way to visit ours! They entertained my sisters and I read a book.?
-
- Gayle and I slept out on the deck! It was fun, except for the cold shock you got as soon as you moved after waking up.
-
- Lanaya and Spencer had a birthday breakfast, this was the desert that we indulged in after waffles, whipped cream, and lots of fruit!!!! It was amazing, but we were all groaning by the end!?
-
- Lanaya’s biggest present, a skim board. I wish you all could have been there to see her face!
-
- Every evening we went for a walk, the sunsets over the water were gorgeous! I was in the wheelchair, and all my cousins fought over who got to push me, thanks guys!?
-
- Finally got the branch off of the telephone wire!!! With a little manouvering and a lot of grunting, the brach was removed and the phone still worked!?
-
- We raked up all of the debris from the trees in Grampa and Grandma’s backyard, then dropped it off at the dump.
-
- Mom and Grandma put up some new lace curtains. Then some old friends stopped in, and they could only get the door open a few feet.?
-
- Lanaya after she sees her present. She literally shook her hands and gasped, then leaned all the way back in her chair and screamed… You would never know who’s the most dramatic in our family!?
-
- The trees were overhanging the driveway, so we trimmed down the trees. But first we had to send Dad and a saw up the tree to cut off a branch. Whoops! The branch finally broke off, but landed on the telephone wire…?
-
- After a three couse dinner, that was delectable, we gave Grandma a present!
You do have a way with words (and pictures) Raquenna! Thanks for the update! I loved all the commentary, even with being a participant in most of the fun!! Great memories were made! (and it looks like I left just in time – before your mom put me to work!!!!) Love Auntie Selene
Thanks! It was a blast having you guys here!!! And, yes, you did leave just in time, as we were put to work the very same day you guys left.? (I think you did a lot of work while you were here though!)
Thanks so much for the updates! You are becoming a fine photographer. Enjoy the rest of your journey, keep the updates coming!
Thank you! I will!
Fabulous photos! So glad you are getting in all this family time!
