Don't tell Dad…

…we've climbed the tree.

A lovely day of family visitors, some expected, some not…and all very welcome. This was exactly the sort of family time we've been missing stuck out on over on the East Coast, so it's really lovely to have a spontaneous family party in our new home. Weather obligingly beautiful until last guests had gotten into their car–not sure how often that'll happen, but, by gosh, we'll take it when it does.

You can't see it here, but Master Coo and his cousin are actually about seven feet off the ground, having been lifted there by me and my brother-in-law. Much hilarity all round!
