Branch and The Girl enjoyed a morning at the local airport.
They were actually able to enjoy a nice flight with a local pilot. The other boy in the photo is a "flying friend".
Load 'em up and head out! The Girl was excited to "steer" the plane for a while. Such are the advantages of sitting up front...
Sunday morning we awakened to brisk weather and a warm fire over in the gathering place.
Just a bit chilly, Girl, but warm food is on its way!
ChubChub was intensely happy to discover a ladybug gadding about. Can you see it on the tip of the pine needle?
A few friends joined us for our brunch: the last of this year's potatoes, hot and crispy; sausage from our pigs; eggs from our chickens, and sugary funnel cakes that Mean Ol' Mama was cajoled into mixing up. Yummy! Hot chocolate, coffee, and hot apple cider rounded out the menu.
Eatin' and visitin'...
Stennes is now the official Funnel Cake Fryer. He sure made some beauties!
Branch kept the hot water a'comin'...
Even Poppins contributed to the menu with fried deer heart. We ARE in the south, ya know...
Whoowhee! This is just one of about 14 trays-ful that Stennes fried up.
More good meetings with the Haitians. They're signing the prayer book so we can remember all of their names.
At another camp, this sweet lady came up and sang A la gnou zanmi se Jezu (What a Friend We Have in Jesus) with us. Sweet times!
Anders helped Pop set eggs in the incubator.
And ChubChub was a bit silly with his "tag" that he created. What does it say? Just keep reading...
He just can't wait to be in with the big kids...
The kids went to Birdsong Nature Center this morning to do manual labor as volunteer service; Stennes is now participating on the 4H Archery Team; the older 3 boys have 4H Livestock tomorrow in Albany; the older 5 have 4H Wildlife competition on Saturday; Mean Ol' Mama's going crazy...
