The old croquet set got a bit more use. I think I was
told that these same mallets were thrown at each other
by the Cooper boys.
Jen takes a shot.
Kelsey's turn.
Dad takes a moment to loosen a weed.
When we first arrived, Jenny and Sarah were invited to join
Uncle Roger's crew (including Aunt Carol's sister and other
relatives) on a trip to Put-In-Bay Island.
They took the ferry there and then rented a couple of
golf carts for transportation.
We went to East Harbor State Park a couple of times.
Glen took the boys out pretty far, but this beach is so
shallow that they could still stand easily.
Admiring the sand works.
Alan, Megan, and Roger hard at work.
Beth and Anne.
Back at the cottage, there was lots of visiting and fishing.
Steven.
Sarah enlightened us by reading from this book on the
Enneagram. It's a way of understanding your personality
and how to interact with each other.
Jenny got a bit of exercise.
We brought our screen tent with us and then left it
at the cottage for future use. There are more bugs in Ohio

Sam gracefully used her toes to unzip the door.
Sarah models Uncle Roger's old hat from college days.
Two boys staying at the neighboring house wanted to use
yard space to throw a football. So Sarah said they could, but

Huddling to plan the next play.
Uncle Roger loaded up a wagon of firewood.
Alan was excited about the fireflys. We collected a bunch
in a jar. After the first night, Alan rang the bell
each evening when it was dark to announce that it was
time to catch fireflys.
Alan decided to make a firering for the next campfire.
