couple of weeks and we got into all kinds of interesting adventures. Since they needed to reset their time clock, we took them to family day at the July Course in Newmarket. If you just read Vivian's blog on ladies' day, this was a different experience. She figured she knew how to bet and by the end of the day, 
MJ's college savings is all but gone.
Emmanuel College is part of Cambridge University and Debbie's uncle taught there during the summers for over 20 years. Here is a picture from the courtyard. We also enjoyed Punting on the Cam during our day in Cambridge. We took them to Wimpole Hall which
is a working farm with a great manor house. The best part of that is the hay bale maze. We hopped over to
Framlingham Castle for an adventure. Here are all the kids perched on the wall. I think they got in trouble for this one. Speaking of trouble, the real trouble came when MJ unwrapped the drum kit he got for his 14th birthday. Lucky for us, we had
Uncle Lawton
over to help put the whole thing together. He also gave MJ the quick lesson on how to play. While he was at it, he also proceeded to make our back door neighbor hate us by doing his best Tommy Lee impression for an entire day.
Our neighbors, the Downings, hosted us for a cookout one night and we got to engage in a girls versus boys Kubb battle. Kubb is a game that
originates from Sweden and is supposedly a Viking game. If you dig into the history though, you can't verify that. Regardless, it was an a very nice evening and as you might expect, the men won. Remember, boys rule and girls drool.
The find of the week came from Millets, our favorite outdoor store. They are the Team Crabby
t-shirts for Hannah and Harris. Uncle Lawton always takes us to the secret crabbing spot when we are at Edisto. We load up the crab pots and head home for a crab boil. He has been deemed Captain Crabby for his knack for finding the perfect spot and now his kids officially sport the team shirts.....
