USA Chronicles: Whitefield 3, September

We tried for some cool kids pics one day. That were not great but it was a blast trying. That and I discovered a smudge on the camera lens half way through.

Stick the kids in the field, I say! Amid the tall grass and snakes and deer and bear (we heard it told by the groundskeeper that both deer and bear will swim the lake!). They LOVED this idea of trudging the tall grass.
 You can't really see their faces but all are there, maybe even looking at the camera.








I like the silhouette of a child on the shoulders, another's hands in the air. 


We went around back to try for more. Everyone in, Tobin and Sammy looking away.




 Tobin is moving out of the line..


 Starting slow...


And he's off, we've got a runner folks.
 


 Next, Travis had the kids do push ups, Tobin thinks they are crazy!

Then the kids got in teams and raced to Travis and back through the thick, tall grassy field.


Can you even see Sophia? Sammy is in there two, just too small to spot!


Last morning, sun is getting high and the fog is still lifting off the lake. We will miss this place!

Bella sweeps the front porch...
 One more stab at fishing! Yeah, Soph gets her fish. Not bad, girl.

 The kids sit around and listen to Uncle Travo tell stories, he is a great story teller.

Aunt Julie fries the fish, like Grandma Pinnie used to do. In China we keep the heads on!


Sweet moments, these girls. Sophia really misses her cousins.

We were so thankful for this time with family. Always priceless.
