Cousins Come For A Visit...
We were so happy to have my cousin Dale, his wife Kim, and their two boys, Dylan and Kai come for a visit this week...
Here they are, with our dog Nikki, on Snoopy's nose at the Snoopy Labyrinth at the Charles M. Schulz Museum that I designed in 2001...
We had a barbecue on our back deck with corn on the cob and Cesar salad and my dad was able to join us! That's my step-son Orin on the far left, visiting us before he leaves for France and Switzerland at the end of the month where he will be doing his physics doctorate research at the CERN, European Consortium of Nuclear Research, Lab!
My cousin Dale is named after my father~Dale (at the center), and I (Lea) am named after my uncle, my father's brother and my cousin Dale's father Lee...
While us adults visited...
the boys did a lot... from reading on the deck...
to contests with the hula-hoop...
(please excuse the labyrinth construction material in the
background and the state of our back garden
which is also under renovation!!!)
to running the front yard labyrinth...
I can remember when my cousin, his three sisters, my sister and I were all about this age... what happened and how did we get to be here and this big!!!
We loved having you all visit~ Dale, Kim, Dylan, and Kai!!! Come back soon as Nikki has been looking for you everywhere!!!
Lovely family. It is so good to get together with those we love.
I am impressed with the fact that you designed the Labyrinth for the Charles Schulz Museum...You are amazing.
