Joke of the Week

We were shucking corn to freeze and Marlin says, "This corn is sunburnt!" Melodie and I look at each other and I say, "What makes you say that?" He said, "It's peeling!" We had a good laugh!

Day Camp 2008

This was a busy week. We took Pauline Nunes to the airport to fly to Greensboro, NC. Melodie made arrangements to pick up some of Marlin's friends that live in Albuquerque. They spent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday morning with him. Wednesday and Thursday Marlin had some other friends come over and they had quite a time. Wednesday, Melodie made homemade pizza. Everyone's favorite. We ended up having 12 children at some time during the day and a former student for lunch. We kept them busy...

in a water fight,

stacking them,

and with other games such as "Uno Attack"

Thursday we went to the Navajo Nation Zoo. The only monkeys were imported.

This one wanted to know WHOOOO they were? They tried to escape... well I don't think they would have gotten far in this.

Family Get Together

My brother and his family flew to NM in July. William wanted to visit Auntie. In planning we asked where they would like to go. They decided Durango, Colorado. So we packed up and... There were 10 of us in the van with our luggage.

Our first stop was at Four Corners.

Next to Durango where we met Miriam, April & Isaac. We ate supper together at the Bar D and enjoyed the evening there.

Riding a small train. Eating supper together. The next day we went to the ski resort and went up... then we came down...We camped in cabins and sat around a fire...

Crossed the Animas on a swinging bridge

Before it was all over we took in a sunset.
