Up Yonder 2009

Well, I am officially a bad mother. I didn't even get my camera out of its case at the reunion. Luckily there were a lot of cameras out and active. Kudos to all the great camera work. I am including a few shots from Anne-Marie ( a Dollahite Grandchild). Also here is a video of Grace on the new addition to her swing set. We didn't put it together at first because who really want to encourage an 18 month old to climb better. This was her 3rd time up a climbing wall ever. Bob she'll be ready for bouldering in no time.

If you are a Facebooker many have posted their Up Yonder pictures there. Here are a few:





Tod stayed for just a short stay and then left to go to see our new newphew (a boy?)
Ford Burton quite happy and healthy


The funny bit is that Grace hated "bumpos" when she was the age they are intended for. At the lake she couldn't have enough time in it.



The five under two and under at the Reunion, one Cooke, one Alston, three Dollahites.
Annaliese (D), Grace (C), Corri (A), Glorianne (D), Gabrielle (D)
(Aren't those outfits cute?)



Golf anyone?



What would the reunion be without at lease one good gossip session a day.
All of the little girls had a blast playing together. Grace was sad to see them go.



See what I mean, GOSSIP.





Actually, I just thought it was nice to see the eldest generation still enjoying the reunion.

And last but not least...



She knows no fear. no waves to big. no wake to imposing.

no hands !


Grace looke at me solemly as I got my ski on for my one ski this year and said:

"No ski, Mama.

No ski, Mama.

Gracie ski."


Maybe next year.




bye bye.
