Boating in Ontario

What a trip! Boating around the locks in and around Fenelon Falls. Soaking up the goodness. Diving of the boat. Sweet.

Horsy-ing around.

Around the Table at Russet House Farm

The next stop on our world-wide whirlwind tour of North America was the Keesmaat-Walsh family farm North(ish) or Toronto. The indomitable Laura and Len and Irene (Sylvia's parents) joined in for some hoots. Dinner was fab man.

Exploring the Streets of Lancaster

Jerel, Malyssa, and Hannah sneaked out of Akron for a while with us to soak it up in Lancaster, PA. It was rocking. The place couldn't be more buzzing if it tried.

Chinese with Brie and Kim

Chinese. Brie. Kim. All good.

Philip at all the great MCC Landmarks

The world renowned "12th St". Orie O Miller's house. It felt like Disneyland for Philip as he soaked up the history and absorbed the whole vibe. It is all about the vibe.

Exploring Akron and beyond

Akron. Where the sun always shines and as a result our foreheads got sunburned in Jim and Mavis' hot red VW convertible. Nice.

Akron, PA

In Akron, PA. One of Philip's favorite spots was, of course, the MCC library.

Deco at Neato Burrito

At Harrisburg's famous Neato Burrito. It was neato. And the burrito was tasty. Sweeto.

Exploring Messiah College

While in the neighborhood we popped into Messiah College to check it out. Turned out to be a pretty sweet spot. While we in the library sneaky Iris darted off and it proved tricky for Philip to find her...

Harrisburg City Lights

We enjoyed the night city lights of Harrisburg, PA as we waited for 4th of July fireworks.

Carolinian History

Going for walks with the Steers in Durham, North Carolina

Iris joined Phil in Durham, NC for a week with the friendly Steers. Phil was up to his usual mischief, Sarah was about to give birth to their second, and little Esther couldn't get enough of story books. BBQs, plantations, ice creams and whopping great big industrial shopping centers were all in a week of walking and fun.
