Winding Down

Our time together in the country of our youth was winding down.  Thursday was used as a day for last-minutes and finish-ups. 

Aaron, Stacey and I did some last minute shopping.

Rachel, Al and Christel went back to the zoo.

Bryan finished the rocking chair make-over.

There's just something so right about having your mom cut your hair!

Brandon's new friend came to play soccer and hang out with him for a while.

Rebel joined one of our last tea times together.  (I forgot to tell you something very important, Mom, the other day
when you asked if Brandon remembered or still talked out our trip.  Brandon has named one of the birds on his wall "Rebel".)

The biggest job of the day was getting two of these HUGE water tanks out from behind Dad's office building.

I'm pretty sure every man on the compound at the time was conscripted to help.

BEWARE of your garden/produce fields when the Horlings are around--they will empty it out with their foraging!

Mom got in as much grandkid time as possible.

And finally, I took family photos.

The evening was spent packing and sitting around the table playing games and talking.
