For any of you who recall the photos from when Lyell turned 10 years old, or those dating back to when the young man turned 9 years old, these pictures might look just a little bit familiar.  There is the same canoe...

On the same little pond...

Featuring the same guests...

Roasting the same marshmellows...

..and preparing for for same rain!  So you might ask yourself.  Have we progressed at all?  Is age bringing any positive effect with it?

Well - though we still stay up just as late at night with the flashlights...

I think that we are all learning that once you have something good, you stick with it.  Happy 11th, big fella.
