IT WAS FIRST THINGS FIRST at this Family Reunion.
And erecting the tent came first!
















Once that was done, we could jump right in. (Right into Ernie's boat, Reader Dear!) This genetic bunch had a neighbor man while growing up who is still the neighbor man! He has a boat and a generous urge to give rides!








Well, then there was fishing!


And that most universal of activities--eating!




My goodness, Reader Dear, as if riding the boat were not enough, we all got a chance to ride the train, as well! That well-known celebrity (my Little Actor himself) was acting as engineer! My Small Actor, too, was in attendance! His entertainment was of the Throw-the-Pinecone-to-the-Ground-and-All-Applaud sort, and it was quite a hit!



Of course, the tiny stars were mostly taking a break from acting. They were on vacation, after all! The Small Actor took time to kick back and enjoy nature; the Little Actor relished being on the near side of the camera for once!


There's more.
The tide keeps on rolling...

(to be cont'd., Dear Reader-slash-Viewer!)
