Some Journey

Uncle Chah-lie

We had an enjoyable visit this evening with some of the "Yankee Ibachs". Stephen's Uncle Charlie and his wife, Aunt Paula, and sister Aunt Judy, are in town for the night to pick up Nelie. The four of them are going to spend some time at my brother in law's condo in Fla. Our kids have not met any of them before, though Sam has wanted to meet Uncle Charlie for a long time, since he so frequently gets told that he is "just like your uncle Paul, who is just like his Uncle Charlie". And the three of them certainly enjoyed each other's company. Quiet is not the way one would describe their interaction. Uncle Charlie is one of these truly unique individuals who is loud and boistrous and you just can not get enough of him. He is a constant stream of jokes. The kids actually cried when they had to quit playing with him. I've posted a few more pics on my Flickr account. (No, I haven't forgotten about posting more pics from the picnic, I just haven't had time to wade through them all and make selections).

Off to a field trip in the morning early. Fun.
