Well several years ago, Julie bought me a hammock from Columbia and we never put it up.  So with the arrival of Aunt Jessica and the discovery of the hammock in the garage, she inspired us to finally put it up.  There have been many naps in the hammock by Jessica and Julie, but the most fun is to watch the kids fascination with such a novelty item.  Of course we have had a few bumps and bruises already from kids thinking they should do “under-dogs”  to the other kids sitting inside, but overall it has been a huge hit. 

The kids have an opportunity to enter a contest with the dentist in Medford for all the vacation places they have been with their toothbrush.  So they wanted to stop and have their picture taken with the Mackinaw Bridge on our way home from Grandma and Papa’s in Michigan. 

Since we have sugar snap peas coming out of our ears right now and Matt has some free time on his hands with not being able to be on his feet, he is de-stringing peas with some extra helpers.
