Train Trip

Walter had an exciting day on Saturday. Jeff and Walter went to Ontonagon to see trains.

This picture is taken at Mass City with a train crossing on the bridge behind Walter. When Walter heard the train horn he said "that sounds like vampires playing the organ," just never know what is going through there minds!
Also, Happy 2nd Birthday to my nephew Colton! Hope you had a great day!

Ahoy Matees!

Today we went to watch a big ore ship come through the Houghton canal. Walter of course had to bring along his wooden ship to do comparisons to the real thing and Rose E is holding a carrier for her toys dogs, they now go everywhere with her. Anyway, the kids where impressed by the size of the ship and by the sound of the horn.

Recent ventures

This weekend we went to Green Bay, we visited with Jeff's brother and his family and did some shopping. Here are the kids getting ready to swim in the pool with their cousin Ariel.
On Sunday afternoon we took a drive to the "camp" and hiked along Lake Superior. The kids and the dog found a few treasures.

Chevy with his new treasure
and me holding the "lion" that Walter created with his treasures (driftwood).
And finally....Rose E wearing more hot chocolate than she drank! This girl has been cracking me up! Her latest thing is to jump off of things, such as the sink stool, and before she jumps she likes to say "watch me...oing (booing)."

Paris

The other day we where going from Houghton to Hancock (which we have traveled hundreds of times in the daytime) and Walter said as he was looking at the hillside full of lights "is that Paris?"

Ahh...the life
