Time Bandits







We went to a place called Plymouth planation. It's supposed to be like a living museum, where all the people there (the actors) only can relate to their "time period". If you have seen the movie "The Village" then you've got the right idea.
Note: 'Goat Boy' was a bit odd, I got the impression that he didn't know it was 2009.



Vamos a la Playa





Went to the Beach on tuesday, it was very hot, but the water was just perfect. The girls had a very good time.

Nice Day











We went to the Onterio Fort. Which was interesting & fun. After that the girls flew some kites and Beth took the Miata for a spin. (She still wants the WRX)




Quest for Fire




Uncle Dale Dewolfe Has 5 acres of woods & poison oak & ivy in for his back yard, so we had a nice cosy fire to sit by one evening. Iris like matches.


YUM





Went Blueberry picking. 24 pounds in 45 min. Now how long will it take to eat them all up?

Parks & Recreation



We Made it to up state New York on Tuesday. The drive was HOT but the scenery was interesting. (we decided to call Connee "Crazy Ivan" because of the sudden jerks to her driving)
The next day we took the girls to the park to burn off some energy. Turns out there are other things at the park that burn off energy. Very interesting backddrops.

Catching Up





Here are some pics from Wallkill, I enjoyed that more than Patterson, the tour for Patterson was mostly looking at offices. So the presses at wallkill gave the girls & us more to see.






The plastic frog at Patterson was very photogenic

"This Is Your Life"









Here are some pictures from the weekend. To answer your question Laura, the amount of people has been a little much for Iris, but she got used to it.
Tomorrow we are off to Patterson. Should be fun!

The Day After


The power came back on at around 5:30 am. Which at that point suprised me, I thought for sure we were in a for a total mess the next day. Unfortunately no one slept very well at all. Hopefully that will change tonight.
Other than that it was a good day. The Dewolfes got to see a lot of old friends and that was fun to watch ( & meet them).
Can't wait to use the new bible out in field service. (oops, for those of you that haven't been to the D C forget I said that)
Thats all for now.
