How much can be said for family togetherness?   You know we’re having a great time when grandpa decides to join his 2 grandsons in getting shark tatoos! 

The last week of our time with the kids was spent at a lovely beach front resort in the Philippines.  It was so nice being able to relax and to have the grandkids stay with us in our cottage for a week.  Steve and Jen were able to have some well deserved time to themselves and papa and gram (my new name) got to enjoy the grandkids. 

Many of our memories are of singing in the car, finding a new name for grandma-and yes, it’s gram, but NOT Gram Cracker!  Other memories are of watching the grandkids learn to wakeboard, learn to read and practice using machetes! 

Precious memories were made when we all hiked to the waterfalls, and hiked with the chieftain to his mountain top village.  Did you know that it is possible to climb a foot wide path up a mountain and not kill yourself?  It was so much fun watching the 3 grandkids interact with the tribal children even though they couldn’t speak each others language.
