Chris' Cousin James

While we were in FL, Chris planned on seeing his cousin James, whom he hadn't seen in years. Well, 15 years to be more precise!  So, James came down from GA and hung out with us, remembering good times with Chris and listening to me pester him about all things Native American.  It was a grand time!

Here's Chris and James

This is a shot of a medicine pouch

 

And these are leather boots

 

It was neat to learn about so many differences in culture and history and laws and  ways of doing things.....

James came back down the day of the Ironman and patiently waited for Chris to finish.  It's not that thrilling being an IronMate. Lots of waiting and walking and screaming and crowds...add in a baby's nap and feeding the crew...makes for a long day!

We're all glad Chris got to reconnect...maybe it won't take another 15 years!
