Gracie and Grandma Day

Gracie is really growing up.
She has a brother and several boy cousins.
She plays well with all of them, but
we thought it was about time for a girl day. 

So we headed to the Tea Room.


We both enjoyed our lunch and you know
if you have ever been there, what we had for dessert.
Yes, warm bread pudding with whipped cream....YUM!
It was a very good day!

Fun at the Pool

Goggles, anyone?
Gracie flying out of the tube slide.
Cousin Carter....they seem to all be set with 
GOGGLES! Goggles, everyone?

Yes, all of them.

And mean while, back at the trailer.

NOT "Roughing It" at Greenleaf

The kids are delighted with the new
 "Bedroom Trailer" - as Josh used
to call them. 
Four bunk beds for the youngsters.






Greenleaf is a beautiful place to camp
and it even has a swimming pool and playground.
It is even better if your son-in-law charcoals burgers.
Yummy!

Random Cuteness!

A Glimpse of the 4th





I thought this picture was a pretty good start
for a patriotic 4th of July!

Let the water fun begin.

The kids had a ball in Aunt Mona's beautiful pond.


Katie, Craig, and Nathan enjoyed the view from the dock.


I love these little girls.
They are such cousin buddies.
Photogenic and Cute!!

 Ryan and Nathan loved the plane
and race cars.
Raley loves to have her picture taken.
She motioned for me when she saw that I 
had my camera.  First she wanted her picture
taken on the swing, then these bars, and then she
said, meet me at the dock.  She is so sweet, cute,
and funny!
