As much fun as we have in Cameroon, we were quite ready to go home and impose on the hospitality of our family and friends. We started in the woods of Tennessee, hit the beach in Cape May, and then headed to the north country.
On the Trail
Kristie and the boys met up with the Stinchfields in the Smoky Mountains for some camping fun
Mighty Minnows
The boys enjoyed swimming with their aunt and uncle in a nice big cool lake
Free Rider
Predictably, Lincoln got his uncle to do all the hard work and enjoyed all the extra attention
Surf Bums
We moved on to the sand and waves, sharing the beach and an ice cream or three with Nanny and Papa John (Bills parents), Aunt Kathie and cousins Katie, Mike and Jackie.
Ladies on a stroll
Kristie, Kathie and Katie enjoying another perfect evening at the shore
Boy fun
The boys particularly enjoyed having an older brother for a while, and Mike didn't seem to mind having some wanna-be's hanging around 
And they're off
The little guys gave us all a run for our money - but the grandparents still held their own
Beach Heaven
The ocean was unseasonably cold - but Mom was ready to warm up chilly boys when needed
Nature Camp
Mayhem in MaineNext we headed north, stopping to see our old friends Bart and Sush - of bush medicine fame
(our new Bush Medicine blog is http://www.bush-medicine.blogspot.com/)
Then we had a nice visit with the other Swaney cousins, building forts, playing in the sprinkler and seeing just how many bubbles a jacuzzi tub can make

Gotta Adore Smores
What can I say, it doesn't get any better than this
Puppy Love
Lincoln found a friend and role model in Jon's new dog Rugby
