My Friends, The Artists

Becoming Luminescent Glee

As is the norm, group shots are always great ideas at their inception with horrific outcomes. Today we have the gang at the secret falls attempting various poses, never simultaneously and Eliot (the setter of timer) barely makes it in for any at all. So add a little muzak and at least it becomes slightly amusing.

Notice my melonhead barely moves at all

Ekki Múkk To Popplagið

We were seeing Sigur Rós that night. Heading to Philly, lunch was first.

Sarah's Corner Cafe for a combination of wraps and claps

then suddenly Curtis needed to buy a sewing machine, good thing we were running early

first timers are easy hazing victims

is this a picnic or a rock show?

got to love a show that's 50/50 standing and lying down

collective mind blowing

they played many of their angrier tunes

Fantastically intimate and quite different than when Laura and I saw them in the Atlanta Symphony Hall back in 2006. Glad I could experience with such great people. Bucket list times two.

The Falls Are For Everyone

breakfast the next morning was remarkable thanks to my able-bodied wife

then we led everyone into the woods, with no resistance

the river bed was chilly today

Yuula decided that this was a good place to be

riverside with Daddy

it wasn't long til we were all barefoot

her biggest bath yet

Curtis is commonly overwhelmed by acts of grandiosity

exploring the caves

she'll never want to use her pool again

and a perfect end(ing)

If You Stitch It They Will Come

let's catch up...

Laura busted out the sewing machine last week

it was a large undertaking

Curtis, Eliot & Erica showed up for dinner on Sunday

Yuula got first choice of what to view

we are all fans of fire and smores

Katie showed up late but we had one waiting for her

heading back to the big screen, we started off with a little Louie

and after a brief stab and streaming the new Batman but unsatisfied with the quality we settled in on The Big Lebowski, and then we all fell asleep in the yard

Yay!
