Here's a few shots from a local Reniassance Faire It's called Silver Leaf and it's located in Kalamazoo, MI Very cool knights in armour Even cooler knights on horseback More knights. Why didn't I take more pictures at this thing? Here's Jared at Aunt Marge and Uncle John's in Delaware Kids love them boxes And then they get pooped out Here's the family visiting Rehoboth Beach with our fantastic parking space right on the beach. Oh yeah baby Walking on the renovated boardwalk area, with the endangered beach grass in the background All of us on the boardwalk Almost taking a swim in the Atlantic Ocean. Jared actually did get his feet wet in it for the first time We stayed at Tara's sister Geri's house, who also hosted a family party while we were there Lots of family! Lots more family Jared diving in with the other babies of the family Jared distributing his toys for the other kids to play with Wait a minute, I gave them all away now I don't have any! Tara and her sister Geri. Howard, Geri's husband, was away in Colorado while we were there Mmmm, a cold drink after some roughousin' And back to the play! Whew, that was tough Mama straightening up the boy's overalls Grandpa Jack with his gaggle of descendants. Now it would appear that it's Jared and all his cousins, but actually, that's Jared and all his cousins once-removed. All the other kids are children of Jared's first cousins, who are Tara's nieces and nephews. So basically it's Jack and his great-grandchildren, except for Jared, who's his grandson. It's taken me seven years in this family so far, and I think I'm finally getting the hang of it And (a lot of) the family. Want names? Tara and her nephew (yes, nephew) Chuck, holding Jared and Olivia. Who's ready for some lunch? Not any more, I'm stuffed! Jared running around in Marge and John's huge yard Zipping in and out of the hedge rows... Running away, bye Jared! Boom! Grass stains, whee Ok Uncle John, I'll follow you for a bit Here's a pan and scan of the beach at Ocean City, MD And going... And going... If you look really close, you can see Mama sitting with Jared in a bench. Give up? And going... And going... And going... And gone! It's a very cool resort area on the Atlantic Ocean And a shot of the Ocean City Ripley's Believe it or Not museum, complete with shark! |
