Rebecca's cat mask that she made at school. I went to help out one day and got to do projects with the kids. 

Whoa!! X-rated. Joel, brushing his teeth. 

John and the kids at the pool. We stayed in a hotel called the Inn on Lake Superior up in Duluth last weekend. It's our favorite hotel up there...right on the lake, as the name implies! Plus they have s'mores every night and a huge breakfast in the morning. 

Clayton's awesome full-body profile. I love that baby fat! 

Joel looks tired. Whew! Swimming takes a lot out of a guy. 

Rebecca rinsing off down by the pool after our swim. 

Clayton by a ship's steering wheel in the museum in Duluth. We like to go there when we can because it's pretty interesting and it's free. Plus if the weather is bad down by the water it's a place to duck into. 

We watched this 1000 foot ore boat come through. The kids were intrigued. I suppose the ship traffic through the harbor will decrease really soon with winter coming on. 

The kids in front of something that came off a large ship. I'm not sure what it's called. Maybe someone could help me out? 

Clayton at Grandpa John's. He loved having the bandana on his head. If it fell off he'd bring it to me, kind of grunting and whining until I put it back on him. 

Rebecca was the VIP at school...that means Very Important Person, of course. Everything was about her. She got to bring show and tell everyday and be the teacher's helper.
