Clara's Surprise Party

 Clara's friend Mylee threw her a darling surprise party for her 16th birthday. Darling cake and darling kids.

Clara is so fantastic. She is so important. She is smart and witty. Talent and capability.  Has love to share and so much to offer.  I am so so proud of her and I am so very glad to have her in my life. 

Craters Of the Moon

 

We had such a memorable trip! On the way there we listened to "The Phantom Tollbooth." We got there and it started to sprinkle. By the time we got to the top of inferno cone it was poring rain. We went back to the visitors center and bought new shirts. We had a great lunch and really enjoyed the rest of our time.  I love the photo of the three girls. I think it looks like they are cut out of a magazine and pasted on. But no, that is the unedited photo!

Babysitting

 Margaret was a lucky duck and got to take care of baby Rudy for an evening.  She did a great job and we all just loved on him.
