Just returned from a lovely trip to the Smokies to visit Jeff, Jess, and Avonlea, who live in Japan and work for DODS. Avonlea is just barely a year and #2 is due in December. Phew. Er, I mean, congratulations!
Avonlea:
They also have a six-year-old goddaughter (pictured below), who can make up all sorts of fun games to play with flashlights, and for that we are truly grateful.
We stayed in a 100 year old cabin which was formerly a one-room school house. Jess's family built screened-in porches all around it for air conditioning. A LOVELY trip.
Enjoy the pics ...
We had JUST been awakened by all of those children. I have not yet had coffee, as evidenced by my swollen-shut eyes. That's John, Jeff, Avonlea, Me, and Ariana (from L to R).
Floating down the little creek beside the cabin ... I was taking the picture (and video -- see link below) from an historic swinging bridge.
Me & Goose splashing in the water ... I have a picture of me and my daddy that looks almost identical to this and could've been taken in the same exact location.
Such a fun and exciting trip is always followed by a good 3-hour nap for the entire car ride home.
One of the best parts. Ha!
