After making excellent time, we arrive in Somerset Ohio by noon.  We open the car doors and the kids fly out into the abounding farm scape.

“Here Mamma I picked this for you.”

“Little” Paul and “Old” Paul get to settin’:

Sue shows up with her huge heart:

And, being a consummate Grandma,  agrees unprotestingly to play “pool” with Gavin:

After a delirious nap, I later find my kids nextdoor…

Having a miserable time with their cousins:

         Claire,  Gavin & Alicia (“Alisha”)

Twister with the Big Girls:

Uncle Darryl helps Gavin sink a Battleship:

Also,  Claire teaches ClaraJane some *magic tricks.*  “You can CLEARLY see my hat is empty…”

Ta da!

CJ also makes Claire magically disappear (from behind a cloth conveniently located by a flight of stairs):

Before we go, a moment for the chronically attention-starved “dog,” Flicka:

“At LAST.  Someone FINALLY understands me!”
