Ethel celebrated her 88^th birthday with a gathering of the tribe in Massachusetts.  Here are some of the happenings..

   
Aaron, Stacey, & Bryn take the lake in the canoe.
Alek practices jumping off the raft with me.

   
Alek and Bryn played together in the lake all afternoon.


   
Bryn and Alek spent some time playing together, and made some silly faces to boot.

   
Bryn showed Alek how to use Aaron for somersaults.  And it works!
