Our special friends Scott, Amy and Blake Hossack made their second annual pilgrimage from Canada to Lake Orion today. We taught with them in Shanghai and love them to bits. When my mom and sister visited us in Shanghai, they also got to know the fabulous Hossack family, so they joined us for a little lakeside reunion.
The Hossacks came to Michigan last summer and spent Christmas with us in Laos, so we had planned to return the favor before leaving for New Delhi. Unfortunately, I still don’t have my passport back from the Indian consulate, which means I can’t cross the border into Canada. Drat!
Despite the heat advisory, we did the usual stuff: fed the fish, waded in the lake, floated around on the raft, and took the paddle boat out for a spin. Such a nice day with such wonderful people!
The boys head out on the paddle boat.
Kate and the kids throw bread to the fish and try to attract some ducks.
Cooling off with freezy pops.
Blake and Paul play basketball with the fishnet.
Group hug!
Tony falls asleep while watching a show with Blake.
It’s kind of amazing that Tony could fall asleep – what with the glare off Blake’s white chest and all. Thanks for having us. We had a wonderful day!!!
See you next time!
Amy
I love that Nico pose in the third picture.
It looks like a day with the kiddos wore Tony out completely! So glad you had a fun day together.
