Chief Kendra

Here she is - Kendra at age eight! It has been fun this year to see her sense of humor develop. She loves to laugh and make jokes - her spontaneous ones being funnier than the ones she tries very hard to make up!

For her birthday, Kendra wanted an Asterix & Obelix theme. These characters are from French comic books about a tiny village in Gaul/France which is the last to resist the Romans thanks to these two brave fellows and a lot of magic potion which makes them super-human strong.

Here the girls/Gauls were told the Romans have stolen all the Cheetos for the party - they must go and find them! Talk about a sneaky way to get kids to hike :) They found all but one package which a shepherd had found instead and happily ate!

There she is - Chief Kendra - being carried on her shield!

The famous magic potion. Just after I poured it, a bright green frog jumped in! So we had to come up with a different magic potion!

Most parents, being of the sensible sort, decided not to drive off-road to our spot so Gerald carted a few loads of kids down in our friend's car! We're not sure exactly how many we fit in there!
