Camden NY and Cousins Rich, Sharon, Charles and Jeri. (and seeing Dan too)

Dan came to Camden to see us back ! It was so good to see him. Sharon and Richard Norton, Natalie's cousins welcomed us with treat and talk. Their daughter Sarah and her son Joey,1, were there too. What a nice visit. Richard showed us a photo album of his rebuilt Sugarhouse and it's operations. They gave us maple syrup to take home too. Then Charles and Jeri Norton came over (Richard's brother who lives next door and also Natalie's cousin). Sharon made a delicious Lasagna dinner and we talked on and on. As it was still raining we put off going to the farm.
In the morning after breakfast we went to see the barn and sugarhouse. Jeri and Charles came too and brought their 2 grandchildren, Sean, 6 and Jeramiah, 3. I set up paints and paper for the the 2 boys do some watercoloring on the kitchen island. They are both so smart and adorable. Everyone went to the farm, a 1/2 mile down the road at Jeri and Charles's house. Their parents (my aunt and uncle ran a big Dairy Farm there that I remember visiting as a child). We saw the new sugarhouse and the equipment barn and the big barn. The 2 boys loved the mud puddles!

Dan was glad to see Angus!
