That Family Togetherness

Even a couple hours of sailing are pretty exhausting, so Peter and Kara came home and played a game of LIFE with Julia. As all parents know, it's wonderful to see the older kids come home and enjoy each others' company.

Peter and Kara, relaxing on the couch:

Sometimes we chat, visit, and laugh. But sometimes we just descend into a crowd of screens - haha!

After dinner we all drove down to the Bean for ice cream. Aren't they cute?

The kids (all three of them!) being silly ~

At last, Adam and I have other couples in the family, and it sure is nice!

We took Peter and Kara down to the harbor to show them our "dating scene" -- i.e. a bench to sit on, to watch boats and fish. And passing humans. And Adam and I together, we're also a version of that "family togetherness." It's fun to know that all this comradery came first from one little marriage, 24 years ago.

Now they're all out in the man-cave (aka the garage), playing Mario Kart on Philip's Wii. Silly kids. And competitive. And noisy!

I think these two might just be the most competitive of all.
