The Return of Aunt Marj and Uncle Ron - June 2016

Some say it may have been 10 years since they were there, some say 13, others say less.Well, it happened: Aunt Marj and Uncle Ron Dutilly returned to visit Maine in early June 2016! Aunt Joan and Uncle Lowell hosted  their visit, and Pat came up from North Carolina to spend time while they were there, with great hijinx.

Here are photos and captions from Aunt Marj, to commemorate this historic visit:

 
 Here's me with my "zebco 128" with Aunt Joan on our last day in MaineCamp.

Here's Aunt Joan working on one of two puzzles we did while we were there...this one was baseball banners...a real challenge...but we got it done late the night before we headed back to Florida.

Maine wouldn't be Maine without seeing Paul Voyer! 

Here are the flock of ducks that have Aunt Joan and Uncle Lowell
trained...they come to Camp 4x's a day for bread! (There are even
loaves of bread in the kitchen that are designated "duck bread"!!)
See the other pic from the day we first saw the ducks and you can
see how much bigger they are in this pic! 

 

Here's Lowell posing in his "cold weather" outfit..

 

There's a blue heron right near the canoe...between the birch and the maple tree 

 

Here's a HUGE turtle on Voyers' rock

See how tiny these ducklings are here a week earlier....they are growing on a healthy diet of duck bread.
