Canary Islands

It has been a busy couple of weeks. First my step-daughter Abby flew in from the states and then we took our summer vacation in sunny Fuertenventura, one of the Canary Islands. Here are a few of my favorites from our week. The beach and the villas beyond. Moonlight on the ocean... Let me introduce Abby. She stays with us every summer and then again at Christmas. I tell her it is my job to take 6 months worth of pictures in only 6 weeks. I'm sure you will be seeing lots more of this beautiful face in the weeks to come. And this is all we saw of Kate all week. She loves to snorkel and swims like a little fish.

Riley stayed in the water pretty much the entire time.

Goofing around.

On the last day we went to the zoo and got to hold this snake.....!

Little J

I had the chance to take a walk in the woods with this little guy. He just turned three and his mom wanted to remember this sweet age. All my "babies" are a bit older and it was so fun to see the world through his little eyes. We looked at the ducklings and climbed over hills and studied one black slug for a very long time. He was great about stopping to let me take pictures as long as while we were walking we got to hold hands. Such a sweet age!
