Photos

I'm going to be lazy tonight and direct you to my Japanese/English blog to look at more photos. It's faster than posting them twice.

I've posted photos of the following events:

Our family, dog included, enjoying our first every Oysterfest Parade Garis-style (i.e. there were flamingos involved). Each year, with increasing fervor, the Garis clan has put together a flamingo-themed float for the parade in Fulton/Rockport. This year was "Flamingo Beach". Even Finn got into the spirit of things, whether he wanted to or not.

There are some miscellaneous photos of our little poultry flock. We hope they'll start laying in a couple of months. We are most recently experimenting with "free-ranging" them for part of the day. This means that we turn them loose for a few hours. So far, as the books say, the majority of them return themselves to the coop once it's dark outside. One of them is destined for a name and not the cooking pot. She's the friendliest chicken I've ever met and practically begs to be held!

Also, last weekend we went to some Highland games and had a photo taken of Ridge on this enourmous horse. He's 20 hands high (a hand is 4.5 inches - you can do the math). Pretty remarkable, eh?

Mike built the boys a great playhouse/treehouse in the backyard of thier Arlington house. The boys really enjoyed playing in it with their cousin Lexie during Spring Break.

So click on the link listed to the right of this page and you can see the other photos.
