holiday gnome

while we were away this spring, our garden gnome, known as fred t. gnome-staple on facebook, was abducted. his abduction led to a variety of garden gnome adventures documented in photos taken by our gnome's captors, then shared with us through the magic of facebook. in the photos, it was clear that fred t. gnome-staple was seeing the broader world, and was in good hands. 2 weeks ago, his adventures ended, and he was returned to our backyard.

why am i telling you this? because we now feel compelled to carry on, supporting the gnome's adventures outside the garden. we went to grand haven, michigan for some quality family time with the staple clan over the weekend of the 4th, and we brought the gnome along. he smiled the whole time, so we have to imagine he enjoyed himself.

quality beach time with the family.

where did the gnome go

we weren't there, so it's hard to say where he went exactly.
