Bravery in the UP

While in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, we went to a favourite beach- Little Presque Isle.  The weather was fantastic- the water is usually too cold to even get in, but we swam for hours this time.

Just off the shore is an island you can wade out to in waist deep water.  On the back side, we found all the young, cool kids hanging out and jumping off the cliffs into the water.

C mustered up the courage, and we jumped together.  It's about 30 feet down to the water!

She arrives!

Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form. The first Park female on this branch of the family in 5 generations gets her name from my grandmother (Dorothy M. Baetcke Park) and a relative on Bella's side (Isabella Dorothea Akers). And also inherits Bella's middle name. Any advice on coping with daughters is heartily welcomed by the father.
