Reunion

Well, here are all of us kids in 1958!





Sure is interesting to see how we have all wethered the last 50 years!

The weekend was enjoyable. There was a terrific picnic at Beth's!


Some cousins got to renew acquaintance.


Other cousins met for the first time!


The exploration of the Lockport Caves (which none of us had ever even heard of!) turned out to be a delightful trip.










The tour guide was terrific and made the adventure very enjoyable!

Karina's Visit to the Aquarium

Amy returned from Washington, exhausted but educated! That didn't slow us down a step. Saturday morning was a trip to the local aquarium that is very well done.






The exhibits were well done and kept Karina's interest.








Even some "hands on" things to do!







It is exhausting learning all that new stuff, so it was only reasonable to take a break for a few minutes.







Then it was time to go back inside and get really involved. Karina loved this tank where she could touch the fish. Fearless she is!









In the shark tank there was a diver who joined them, He was hooked up to a microphone, so the kids outside the tank could ask him questions. Kids walked up to ask him questions. Too bad Gramps was asleep at the switch, or he would have gotten a question of Karina walking up on her own and asking the guy a questions. Well it was more a comment than a question. She thanked the guy for rescuing the fish!! Wow!


A visit with Captain Hook, and it was time to head home. A great day!
