Visitors

Who would have thought that in the middle of a pandemic (or maybe not middle? Maybe we are at the very beginning of one of those sci-fi apocalyptic pandemics and we're all about to snuff it...Perhaps I have read too many sci-fi apocalyptic pandemic stories) that we'd have more visitors in the span of a month than we've ever had. I just hope we don't all pay for it later, because we aren't enforcing mask wearing in the house, nor are we limiting contact with little grandchildren who are too cute to keep at 6 ft distance. Check back in a month to see if we got sick.

Paul and Bethany were here for a while, then my sister came for a bit, then hot on her heels, Hayley and Austin showed up, then overlapping H&A, Jimmy (now James) came with Blair and little Jimmy. And with all the visitors, Katie and clan made sure to join in.

Various pictures with our various visitors:

On the Stone Arch bridge

Silliness and a possible Ariel photobomb. Bethany made the face on purpose, thinking Paul was making a face, which he was until the very last second, which he then changed to be normal to make Bethany look even sillier. Ariel in the back was only in the one picture and we took a bunch in succession, but she disappeared.

birthdays--Katie made a handy Red Green cake for Paul.

These two are unsure how to play together, but they do hold interest in each other.
