The Portlanders Have Come and Gone

It has been a busy nineteen days since I blogged last. We have been busy getting ready for the Portlander's visit.

But when they did arrive the week long party began. Evan and I first set up a tent in the yard so we could "camp out" for a few nights.
The next job was to set up the water slide so the kids could cool off. As the picture shows it seemed to be working well.





While E was busy sliding, Miss Em was busy
trying out the leg powered motorcycle. She
seemed
to like the water slide but liked sitting on the
trike more.














Next E has been telling me since last Thanksgiving
that he wanted to go to the tree house. It actually
is a tree stand for deer hunting but E named it
the boys club house - no girls.
We made a few visits to the tree house during
there stay in Wisconsin.
