Sat-Mon July 18-20, 2015

This weekend we sneaked away for a little impromptu escape for two nights and one luxurious day at my Sister-in-Law, Auntie Liz’s place in the magical wilds of Plymouth, replete with:

Fire

Downtime

Pond Time with Friends

Big Wet Chico Dog Head

Pond Rescue #1

Pond Rescue #2

Help!  Won’t somebody SAVE her?

Repeated rescues of a tennis ball

The final Pond Rescue was such a prolonged struggle against the subtle, persistent breeze that by the time we finally made it back our base camp crew had gotten bored and went home.  A very anticlimactic conclusion to otherwise heroic efforts.  Granted it was only for some floaty toys, but still.

Back at El Rancho things were also getting desperate for the bunnies, who found themselves under siege by a vicious lion.

“This is bullsh*t!”

Though nothing compares to when the children decided to go literally PLAY IN TRAFFIC.  Such a harrowing occurrence I have nothing more to say than by miracles no one got kilt. F*ing yikes, y’all.  Here are two of them doing the opposite:

Zaida and Gavin

Come Monday morning, Gavin was rearing to go start TaeKwonDo Camp!

Sleeping Ninja*

*(Although I have since been informed, lovingly, that it is not altogether accurate to refer to him as a “Ninja” since Ninja’s do KUNG FU, not Tae Kwon Do!  Exhibit #2349BX of things I learn from my kid every day.)

PS:  Not shown:  Zachary, Olivia, incomparably fat cats (Henry & Howie), hammock, or any of the handfuls of frogs/toads captured throughout the weekend.

PPS:  Thanks Liz for another wonderful time in Plymouth!  And Oxy, Lou, Zaida and Victor for joining us!
