Three pretty girls.

Three pretty girls.

Good Grief! Roo and Ashley (a neighbor) have decided to play in the mud.

More mud -- a real mess.

Mooms is refreshing herself.

Four kids in my special, home-made bunk bed (my wife just loves that bunk bed).

One more time.

I spent a night in this wilderness area backpacking.

In the background, you can see Capital Rock.

Here is Capital Rock close up. The picture really does not do justice here. That thing is enormous.

This is a sign on a "gusher" on the far side of Capital Rock. A gusher is a large, slightly slanted concrete slab with a collection tank on one end. A gusher collects rain water for animals.

Here is a picture of the gusher.

Here is the tank -- wanna drink?

The kids decided to construct a home-made teeter-toter out of a two-by-four and a stack of bricks.

And the end result.

As this and the next picture illustrate, Button-Boy doesn't get it. He just stands there and lets the board continually hit him right where it counts. Bright kid, that Button-Boy...

Ouch. Here it comes.

Dusting the piano.

Mooms under the bunk bed.

Button loves that sword and won't let it go -- until he goes to sleep.

Here I am, working on Puke.

Mooms and I.

Mooms (great smile), Roo, and I.
