We had DiotaleviDay at Fort Wetherill RI on July 23rd. It was the hottest day we have had for one of these picnics, but we had a nice shady spot at the park. Here are a couple of pictures that show the set-up we had, with two picnic tables together plus a 3rd table, plus we brought many chairs.

Aunt Jean lead some games of 'Rummikub'. Here is a picture with Kristen and Auntie Jean. It looked like everyone caught on pretty quickly.

A few other pictures from down at the water before we returned. The others stayed longer than Paul & Anne did; it was rather hot and the stagnent pools added a rather unpleasant aroma.
