She's in the water

Celebration has been in the water about two weeks. There are two big changes this spring - we are keeping the boat on a mooring instead of at a dock and we have put solar panels on top of her. When we're out on the mooring, we can still use electricity! Isn't that amazing! It's been too cold and rainy to spend any time on her, but we can't wait to try it out!

Kids all around the world!

With Jena departing today we'll have kids on four continents. Mom has clocks in the kitchen that tracks the time for each -- this just got a little more complicated!

Four Continents

Jena is packing to head off to Australia this Wednesday. She'll be a jillaroo on a cattle station called Walhallow Station. A jillaroo is a cowgirl Australian style. Walhallow Station is located in Northern Territories of Australia -- about a 12 hour drive from Darwin. So picture the movie Australia, Nichol Kidman's ride to her ranch, and you sort of arrive at Walhallow Station. When she gets there she we will have Clarke's on four continents -- Brandon in China, Brianna in Africa, Jena in Australia and Lauren, Nelson, Ellie and Brian in the US.
