Roisestad Stay

While many of the previous pictures have been from Roisestad as well, this is a selection of pictures that shows some of the flavor of the place itself. My only regret is not having any good porch, or screened porch pictures. Perhaps Dad will post some.


Here are some ducks and ducklings on the Roisestad pond. Unfortunately the pond is also known to local mosquitos as the "Family Birthing Center."


My mom hosted a very nice little tea party for the kids in the special play area under the stairs. It's very cool for kids and not to bad for parents since it tends to keep things a little more contained.


Grandpa is good at rides (and other things). Tractors or bicycles, these grandkids like going with Grandpa.


This is my brother Michael standing in the field of thistles. Dad took dominion over these weeds before we left, I believe. This is one of the reasons this is such a great place for my family-- room for dominion is a good thing (as proof, consider how their Horace place was too dull).


The kids played in the sand puddle quite a bit. Uncle Andrew taught Inge to make a road with her mashed potatoes and for the rest of the week she was making roads wherever she could-- cottage cheese, sand puddle, you name it. Of course, Lewis was in heaven. Uncle Douglas liked playing in the sand too, obviously. Thanks for sharing the trucks, Douglas.
