Stinnett Family: June 2009

Susan's Birthday

Susan's birthday was celebrated the evening before the actual day because we were getting ready to drive to Boston!

Cutting the cake- Boy, those strawberries smelled so good!

Chincoteague and Assateague Islands

Bright and early Saturday morning, we left with friends, Rebecca and Wendy for Chincoteague and Assateague Islands! The night before we showed them the movie Misty, based on the book "Misty of Chincoteague".

John Boy enjoyed riding the pony

We stopped by the Beebe's farm house where the books were based.

Berry Picking

Warm summer days put us in the mood for berry picking!

We are privileged to have this young lady, Wendy, from Taiwan stay with us! She won a scholarship for a summer class at a university near us and we get to host her before and after her course.

Rebecca, our dear friend from China is back from school for summer vacation. She also went blueberry picking with us!
