Great, funny group of kiddos.

Getting tied up.
Mom and baby. Cute, the both of them.
Audra ambushed me with a hug twice over the weekend. This time I had my camera in hand and caught her at it. Sweet.
It can be pretty good to be brother and sister.
Great Grandma and the kids.

I'm in a film! "We are Pilots" by Julie Spiegler

Julie, the film maker, was my campsite mate during my paragliding trip to the Owen's Valley. It was great fun flying and camping with her. Her film's pretty neat, too. :)

Headed Home - Thanksgiving 2012

Pit BBQ - Thanksgiving 2012

After a successful test run with pork shoulder, we decided it was worth trying the turkey.
The fire minders were up at 2:30 a.m. making coals and getting the turkey in the ground. The rest of us just showed up for the excavation on Thanksgiving day.

Procession back to the house.
Is it done? Not cooked as nicely as the pork shoulder, but on it's way. Just a bit more time in the oven to finish it off.

Dumplings - Thanksgiving 2012

Last step? I didn't capture it with the camera. I must have been too busy eating. Yum.

"Can I help?"
Serious helper.
So careful, wanting to get it right.
So much laughter in this kid. Sorry I couldn't catch her face here, but I think you can get the fun she has with Tim.
