The Davis Family Updates

Alicia and Brittany cleaned all the nursery toys along with completing a ton of other jobs!
Robert did the weed whacking!
PK and Alicia cleaned all the light fixtures. It's amazing how many dead flies can come down from the ceiling! Yuck!
Roger, David & Nate built and painted a railing for the back steps.
David, Mary & Maggie took care of all the windows. Barb and Cressalyn assisted with many other jobs, too!

Thank you for all the hard work! We didn't get through the list, but the place looks and smells so clean and fresh!

Today is Beulah's birthday! Her age today is the same as the number of Ken's favorite NASCAR driver!
We celebrated with cake tonight at Game Night!

And somehow a random game of "Pass the Poke" took place!

Good times.

The sun was so beautiful as it was reflected off the water. Pictures just don't do it justice!
There are actullay 1,847 islands in the Thousand Islands region. At least that's the closest average that the authorities can get!What amazed me is that huge homes are placed on tiny parcels of land sticking up out of the water. A couple are for sale. Anybody want to go together and buy one? They are only between 1.5-3.4 million dollars. Boldt Castle is such a beautiful place and yet maintains a sadness about the structure. You have to know the whole story of the George C. Boldt and his beloved Louise in order to fully grasp what was lost here. www.boldtcastle.com

David & Mary, thank you so much for sharing this experiece with us!

Rob - King of the Mountain!

Where Cressalyn is putting her foot is the same spot that Jacob Moore had trouble with in July. Look at the difference in the water levels in just 2 months! I guess we really need some rain!

While we were climbing we were concerned about the younger children who were very anxious to hike and follow the bigger kids. Actually, we should have been concerned about the bigger kids! Ken followed the children down a steep rock and twisted his ankle. Then, when he lost his path, Nathan got stuck and then tried to cross over wet rocks. This was unsuccessful. He nearly slid down and was wedged in a cavity of the rocks! Luckily he stopped at the top of the slope and was able to brace himself against the rock as the water rushed over his feet. Rob came to the rescue and helped him get back. Whew!

It's been a good day. The rain held off until we returned to the house! Tracy and Judy were able to scrapbook some more and those that wanted to, watched football.
