Wonderland.....


White Rabbit: We're late! We're late! We'll never make the Halloween Parade in Portsmouth....Alice! Hurray up!!!

Mad Hatter: 'Why is a writing desk like a crow?'.....no, that's not right.....what is it again? Something about a raven right?

Alice: 'Why is raven like a writing desk?'....come on Mad Hatter! We've gone over this a hundred times!

Mad Hatter: 'Why is a raven like a fountain pen?' (smiling proud of himself)

Alice: no...(patiently) 'Why is a raven like a writing desk?'

White Rabbit: Can we go please! We're late!!!

Helloooooo...

Megan and I had some of our friends up to the lake for a long weekend recently and they, of course, totally fell in love with the lake and the members of our family that were around. It's always fun to see the lake through new eyes, it kind of makes you fall in love with it all over again. We went down the rock, took a booze cruise (thanks Beno), used the kayaks, played on the water with the sea-doo (thanks Brian) and swam almost every day. It was an all around great weekend! Below are some pics that were taken over the weekend, which my friend Linsey G, who is a graphic artist fixed up. Just something to share with the group.

Fiesta Night










In my opinion, a camp is officially broken in when you make your first pitcher of Margaritas. The kids are testing out the 'Ritas' on our deck this week, then Megan sautes some peppers and onions for Fajitas. Delicious! This was our first week at camp with the whole family and we had a great time, even though the weather was less than ideal. I'm back in Cincinnati now and missing the lake already...

Exciting News !!!!!!!!

Yesterday I mowed my lawn and today I fixed the vanity in the bathroom. I know you may not find this tremendously inspiring and exhilarating, but considering no-one has entered anything since Father's Day, this must be about as adventurous and stimulating as this looney family gets presently.

Speaking of exciting, did you hear about the actress that got stabbed today? Reese something?

Elmendorfs at Camp

For anyone who doesn't know, we closed on our camp at Maidstone on May 22, spent Memorial Day weekend there, and even hosted an impromptu party our first night there (see photo). It was 5 months from offer to closing, and we had to jump thru a few dozen hoops before everything was approved (such an inconvenient time for banks to get careful with their money!) but now it's done and we're excited. For anyone who's interested in our summer schedule: Piet is going to be there from June 18 thru about July 26. He thinks he's going to spend his days fishing and drinking beer, but I plan to give him enough items on his 'to-do' list to keep him out of trouble. I'll be there with him June 20-28, and the whole Elmendorf clan will be there July 11-19. Katie will be in and out all summer, as her work schedule allows. We hope to see as many of you as possible this summer!

Mothers Day


Mom enjoyed sharing Mothers Day with her favorite son. (posted by pat & neil perro.)

Identity Theft

Technology isn't all it's cracked up to be! In checking my email I received a suspicious messages from one Peter Perro regarding the blog! Upon further investigation I found that the afore mentioned Perro has been BLOGGING under MY password protected name! I was overcome with a sense of insecurity! But don't worry, I changed all my passwords and cut up all my checks and credit cards! Just wondering if any other bloggers had fallen victim to this identity theft!?!?
Happy Mothers Day
MOM
and also to all the beautiful Mothers is this wonderful family of ours !!!!!!

Maple Syrup Sunday with the Grandkids
















We spent the day (March 22nd), taking Madi and Tae to a few of the Sugar Shacks in our area... It was Maple Syrup Sunday,, ALL of the sugar shacks opened and had fresh warm maple syrup and all kinds of stuff to do and see... Taelor, like father like daughter, hit every mud puddle she could find. She was soo filthy..lol.. It was a little chilly though,, Add Mud, a little snow shower, face painting, animals, vanilla ice cream topped with maple syrup, Maple cotton candy, pretzels dipped in a creamy maple syrup, maple candy, then top it off with a home made pancake supper with fresh warm maple syrup and what do you get ? A couple of wound up kids. Then send'm home to Mom and Dad.. LOL... We had fun. Ricky did say that Tae slept for 12 hours after they put her to bed....

Everyone... Meet Cody


This is Cody, he came to us via "Second Chance Boxer Rescue", He is such a luv bug, and gives alot of Boxer kisses. He is 5 years old (Boxer with a tail), and what a good boy he is. He truely thinks he is a lap dog,,, and I guess he is... he will get and stay on your lap. Erin you'll appreciate this, Like Julian, he is a couch potato! He just loves being around people. He does great with other dogs, however,, not so good with cats though... ! Pic of Mike and Cody at Wells Beach today.. We pooped him out.. He is curled up next to Mike on the couch, snoreing like crazy..! ! !
He's helping us heal..

Winter Hike




Winter Hike up Cabot (Near Jefferson/Lancaster). One of New Hampshire's 4000 Footers. We had planned on hiking across to the Bulge and the Horn but deep snow and no apparent trail over the ridge line derailed the other two. Plus it was 8 degrees on top and the wind howling. (Wimps) Dani is down in St. Thomas suffering while we get to enjoy days like this, poor girl. (This Hike was actually in February).

Hope all are doing well, looks like snowmobiling and winter hiking are coming to an end soon, then we get to look forward to "Mud Season".

Two weeks in Maine

I was in Maine for two weekends in a row and I got to spend lots of family time. The well published family gathering, and some girl time with Maria and a wrestling meet highlighted my time there. It is really awesome to be able to travel towards so much extended family, in almost any direction, on a whim. Here are a couple pictures from my two weekends...
Christian, Hannah and Taelor table dancing, I think they take after gram...Hannah and Bryce, this time sitting on the table instead of dancing...

Alexander winning his first of four matches on the way to 1st place (notice mom and pop cheering him on)
Jordan winning his first of three matches (all pins) also on his way to first.
Nick coaches over a hundred kids, it was really fun to watch with so much going on.

Snowmobiles and Snowcats


Here's a picture of our Snowcat on the right. I took the snowmobile pic for you, Pete. Because Yellowstone is closed to car travel in the winter, snowmobilers are plentiful here. You would love it!

A Day at Yellowstone



We decided to take a day off skiing to tour Yellowstone in a Snowcat (basically a bus with rubber tracks to travel on snow). We had a beautiful day and saw lots of bison and elk, plus two bald eagles, a coyote and, of course, Old Faithful. I took this pic from the Snowcat - they wouldn't let us get this close on the ground.

Lisa in Montana




Lisa and friends usually head to West Virginia or Michigan for their annual x-country ski trip, but this year we decided to splurge and go to Montana. It was fabulous! Great trails, lots of snow, abundant sunshine, and mountain views everywhere.
HEY PETE!!!!
Where did the picture of the mighty protector go? Stef has got her gun locked and loaded and ready to hunt the young ins new boyfriends!!!!!!
