Cecille's brother, sister-in-law and nephews are visiting from Hong Kong.  Her mother is also here from the Philippines.

On Saturday she planned a picnic....and what a picnic!....at a nearby park on the Lewis River.  Her cousin's family was here from California, friends of hers from work, and a couple whose younger son is in school with Donnie, along with his slightly older brother.

At one point, a man walked by our picnic area with his dog.  Donnie was thrilled because Fritz has taught him to love dogs.  The man was angry because someone had allowed their dog to poop, but they hadn't cleaned it up.  Donnie very seriously examined it.

About an hour later, he brought his classmate and the classmate's older brother to inspect the poop!  All three boys were totally enthralled by the poop.  Although I took a picture of it (to make the boys giggle), I'll spare you.  I'm sure you've seen dog poop.  If you've seen one, you've seen them all.  It was such a little boy thing to do, it made my heart sing.

Now I'll stop talking and just show some photos of the fun, both at the picnic and in Jim's and Cecille's back yard.







One of the boys got his fish hook caught on some rocks.  Bodgie retrieved it for him.  That water was c-c-c-c-cold!
