PHOTO PIC OF THE WEEK

Any one recognize these beauties?

Mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zac sent this HUGE 5 kg box of Mate to us from Uruguay.
The postman delivered it to the door and said....Careful! It's leaking....looks like Oregano!
Hahahahaha.....
We opened the box and the bag was broken.
Here it is leaking.....
















Zac paid $4 for the bag and spent $18.80 to ship it. He meant to bring
it with him when he came for Abe's wedding but never made it due to
lost luggage. THANKS Zac!

CAMPFIRES AND SMORES

I love Autumn especially when we can have fires again in the firepit. Aaaahhhhhh.....the smell of the smoke mingled with hotdogs, roasted potatoes, roasted corn....and SMORES.









Remember to click on the photos to enlarge.

Of course juggling is a go anywhere do anywhere event.

Mathias is enthralled with juggling. He likes to hold two balls
and then he makes his shoulders go up and down in a sideways motion
and then he throws his balls.
This is a very Halloweeny shot!















Andrew with his double decker SMORE.
yuuuummmmm....can't you just taste it?

Japanese Cartoon Face

That's what my boys call it. Anyways here's an up and coming Japanese Cartoon Face Character.
It's supposed to look like the next photo.

He hasn't got the eyes quite right yet but I'm sure he will in time. By the way he is a HUGE FAN of BEN.......hhhhmmmmm.....what does the future hold?

WHAT'S MORE FUN THAN CARVING A PUMPKIN?

Carving a PUMPKIN UNDER WATER! This last weekend Dan, Rochelle, Ben, Paul, Robyn, Randy, Pat went to Lost Creek Reservoir (Lake) and participated in the annual PUMPKIN Carving Dive. Usually we go to the Smith River but this year all the rain last week made the river to swift so we went to the lake. At the Smith River you go down abt 40 ft. At the lake went only went down 20 feet. It was still a lot of fun! Here we are prepping for the event.
