Lazy week in the northern South

Megan gives brother Thomas a semi-public display of affection during their extended family’s annual R&R at Smith Mountain Lake near Roanoke, Va.

In the park, they completed learning modules “Box Turtle” and “Dropping Rocks in a Creek.”

Though the week was relaxing, there was no rest in the war on dental decay.

Henry sets off in a kayak to see where his little brother has gone.

At Grannie’s foot, Megan lays claim to cousin Henry’s excellent right ear lobe.
