Mini reunion

The little energy bunny is in the car headed to the Phoenix airport.  A sudden silence has descended on the place.  Sylvie cannot stay upright. She has her granny's energy.  Constantly she is doing handstands, or some sort of gymnastics routine.  Every morning grandpa awoke to a balance beam demonstration on the end of the bed.

Last night at sister Patty's house Kadizzle's oldest sister Melissa and her husband Bob were there with Sylvie's second cousin Savannah.  The two were born within months of each other and it was their first meeting.  Patty who is wonderful with children kept them busy with a massive crafts project.  So Kadizzle had the two bookends in the family, Patty the youngest, and Melissa the oldest.  A family fact was brought up. Our mother had 9 children in 12 years.  Now that is some serious reproduction.  Of the nine seven are still on planet Earth. Louise and Colin departed early into the universe of the unknown.  We all learned a lesson from being in a big family. No one had more than two children.

Today we will head back to Lake Roosevelt to resume our lives as trail maintenance people.  Massive amounts of leftovers will be accompanying us. The latest advice for living is to invest in experiences, not things.  Seems like good advice we had a great Turkey experience with more than enough hiking.  After yesterdays hike the total mileage just for the week was over ten miles through some very nice country.

The now motorcycle tires came and now have to be installed. The tires may attempt Kadizzle to go places he should not at a speed he should not.  Kadizzle is in the phase of life where you buy your last set of toys.  The temptation to buy an adventure motorcycle and take some longer road trips is knocking on the door.
