This morning my sister and her husband stopped in for a visit (Granny just got back from vacation with them). Uncle Jim brought the boys a ton of fishing lures and other paraphanelia, so they were in their glory today. Later they even got to hunt for agates in the backyard with Jim and Jorie.

Today was full of fun for them. Boy, they grow quickly don't they?
