ELISABETH'S FIRST AUTUMNAL VISIT TO THE RIVER, CAUSE YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING TO DOCUMENT HER FIRST SPRING, WINTER AND SUMMER VISITS TOO.....

Advice I obviously took to heart....

Ashlie has a Mary Tyler Moore moment.



























This is where we'd be roasting marshmallows right now if mum and dad had their act together....
