A gorgeous long weekend on Orcas with Obie & Emmet, plus Des, Joe & Peter. Lake swimming, paddle boating, ice cream eating, beach time having, rock throwing, s'mores making, soccer playing, plus whale watching. AND Emmet rolled over for the first time -- back to front.
This mysterious creature was glimpsed throughout the weekend. Difficult to photograph as the subject was in constant motion, we did have a number of sightings, and made periodic contact where we were engaged in primitive communication -- usually regarding the availability of s'mores. The creature was largely nude the entire weekend.
Emmet & Beth. Look at those eyes!
