What's this?

Suddenly those two guys showed up in our backyard looking spooky.

Northridge tribal wars

First photos of Erik's adventure is tribal war - an event at his host family's church. It looked fun and wet! We talked to Erik yesterday. He is doing fine and having a swell time!

Privilige of a big garden

Before Rhodes Farmor gave us a small pool for the garden. Once home again it was an immediate request to have it installed. Alas 3000 l (750 gl) of water takes a few hours to pump out so it didn't take more than a split second from me turning off the water until the pool was full of kids. Needless to say the water was freezing.

Parlez vous francais?

Axel returning from band trip in Provence. It sounded like a wonderful trip with many experiences. A bed of white flowers which turned out to be plants covered with small snails. Finding the floor at the end of a week in the room he shared with 3 other boys. Giving a concert in the local town square for 4 old people and many many other stories.

Hip Grandma

I don't know about you, but I know some grandchildren who can't wait to get a ride in Grandma's new car.

Butterflies and Good byes

Erik ready for take off. We just got info he made it sound and safe and went straight to bed when he arrived in Owatonna.
