Yo-Ho!

Yesterday was kindof a fun, relaxing day. I wish I wasn't so afraid of hurting myself since the accident, because I would have gone water skiing...it was beautiful.

Elli after a shower with straight hair:

How I started my afternoon - I am actually replacing one that I knocked off of the wall and broke the frame of earlier this week. This is punishment :) I am not crazy about it, but it is just the beginning (in case you can't tell - it's 2 black bears, well, it will be):

Then I headed to the dock and laid around for a while with Joy and Amanda while the boys played on the water in the innertube:

Saw a pirate ship -which Elli just LOVED to wave at and say "Hi boat!" & "Bye boat!"

Then yesterday evening we went to a Lumberjack show. It was impressive. I don't think any one of the "lumberjacks" were over 24 years old. They did all sort of stuff- log rolling, axe throwing, chainsaw races, 60 foot high tree climbs, and other things. We learned that the lumberjack greeting of old is/was Yo-ho! So we said that a lot last night. It was fun.

Now, the guy on the left has won gold medals in the Superjack competitions on ESPN. He raced this other guy up to the top of these 60 foot poles with just the ropes and spikes on their shoes. Guy on the left gave the guy on the right a half-tree-head-start and still climbed the pole and was half-way down before the guy on the right even started coming down. It took lefty like 10 seconds...if that. It was pretty crazy.

Elli ofcourse stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa and was a perfect angel...which she is ofcourse when I am not around. They had a good time too.

And as I type this, there is a bald eagle fishing in the lake, skimming the water....how cool is that?!
