A little jam session with the siblings

when I got the Honda Prelude in 1994, I never imagined I'd see this day, but what beautiful faces ;)

And who says Hi Ho Cherry-O has to be boring?

My guys

poor Daddy....he loves it!

First ride at an amusement park all by himself....not so sure

For Hattie, on the other hand, this is old hat

I'm sensing a little concern in this picture....those turtles can really move,  you know.

Ferris Wheel.....weee!

Wildman!

My wonderful little helpers- hanging the diapers to dry

it's a long process

Now on to the windows

George really gets into the windows

Man, he's thorough!

Hattie and buddy Ava at the Cincinnati Nature Center (for the record, the "poop" bags were to collect pine cones, wildflowers....not the aforementioned) ;)

We made it!  Hattie and her Uncle George...a sweet reunion that has been too many years in the waiting....
