This, and the
next several pictures, are of the great birthday-party-in-common that
is done every year at Grandpa & Grandma's rental-flat in Sun Lakes.
The girls are, as usual, dressed up in rediculous clothes.
|

|
Here is yet
another picture of the great birthday-party-in-common.
|

|
And another.
Really, I am not sure why so many were taken. They all look alike!
|

|
Aparently, we
really liked the birthday party, since we have so many pictures of it!
|

|
Oh! Surprise,
Surprise! A picture of the birthday party!
|

|
I think that
this is the last picture of the birthday party, and none to soon!
|

|
We took the
kids to "Enchanted Island", located in Encanto Park, in the heart of
Phoenix. Here, Roo is seen riding the carousel.
|

|
Genny-Mudge
also went along for the ride.
|

|
As did
Mooms-Chucka, whose glasses are, as always, sliding down her nose (but
she is cute).
|

|
Jacob, on the
other hand, had little interest in the frilly-froo-froo-carousel. The
train, however, was a different story!
|

|
All aboard!
|

|
Even the girls
decided to come along.
|

|
Jacob, Meg,
and I decided to sit in front.
|

|
After
Enchanted Island closed, we went to the playground equiptment at
Encanto Park. Meg loves swings.
|

|
Mudgy on the
whatch-ma-callit.
|

|
Jacob under
the whatch-ma-callit. |

|
Digging in
sand is always a thing to do...
|

|
I like to jump
of the tramp!
|

|
We decided to
take Grandpa & Grandma on a hike in South Mountain Park (the
largest city owned park in the world -- about 14000 acres).
|

|
A dead tree.
Neat, huh?
|

|
Jacob in a
mohawk cut. Look closely, because Dad won't let this continue for very
long!
|

|
Nettie got a
new viola stand, and just had to take a picture of it. Nice viola stand!
|

|
At the end of
Grandpa & Grandma's five month visit every year, we do a final
picnic. Here is the 2005 version of this event. We decided to go to
Pecos Park, though for the life of me I don't know why -- it is a most
unremarkable place. Still, here are all of the kids (and Jacob still
has that Mohawk).
|

|
Same kids all
over again.
|

|
This time, we
threw Grandpa & Grandma into the picture.
|

|
One more, just
for good measure.
