Merry Christmas

As you may know, we celebrate Christmas around here, not with huge piles of presents (because with 7 kids, that's a lot of piles - and a lot of presents), but rather with one, large family present, that everyone must agree on. This way we all get something we all can enjoy. One year, it was a drop-down screen/DVD player for the van; one year a pool table; one year, a really nice chess table; etc. Based on the weekend at The Shore, we decided this year, it would be kayaks. Oh, and by the way, we don't always wait for Christmas to get these family presents. This is a good thing because kayaks are no fun on icy creeks. But they are fun in July! SO, we got some. And here they are. Notice the ingenious kayak carrier that I invented on the spur of the moment in order to get them to the river. If the pictures look a little funny (I can't tell because my computer monitor is on it's last leg), that's because the camera was inside it's waterproof case.
