Treehouse Island Vacation Wonderful and Relaxing....


Need I Say More?





















Just returned from a wonderful week on our "private island", where we spent a relaxing and fun time with Katie & Bella and Rachel, Dave & Ally. Occasionally we went to "the mainland" on our pontoon boat, which we joked about, because it was a 5-minute water ride to reach the shore. Bella learned some very good swimming skills and will be giving Ally a run for her money in the near future. I'll let the pictures do the talking, because I think you can get a good feel of our trip from those. Suffice to say, Katie & I made one terrific canasta team, (to be fair, Scott & Rachel did too; Dave, trooper that he is, was the dog sitter during our matches), and so we are now ready for all takers. The hard part is always coming back and getting back to it. It was so great to be all together for a week that now I miss my kids more than ever!

looks like a great time. I have never heard of Cantasa. Is this something we can play at one of the upcoming get togethers?

Hi Bren - It's actually "Canasta" and is a card game that you play in pairs. Some people used to think of it as an "old peoples'" game like bridge, but it's a blast, and yes we can play it at family get togethers. It doesn't take long to learn.
