Our weekly visits with the girls found us baking, swimming, gardening and playing at the park. Evelynn must take after her great-grandma Ruth...she loves to bake !
 |
| Evelynn does the measuring, Grandma does the mixing |
 |
| and Amelia helps with the clean up! |
 |
Every Friday afternoon Evelynn and I have been going swimming while
Grandpa stays with Amelia during her nap. She has learned to put her
face in the water and do the dog-paddle, but still is a little hesitant
to go down the slide or jump in by herself, but she has already
graduated from full life jacket to just little arm bands to keep her
afloat.
|
We also like to spend lots of time playing outside and making visits to the park.
The backyard swing set that Grandpa built last year is getting lots of use now.
But the school park is only a few blocks away, so it makes for a nice walk and a little play time with other kids.

Whenever Pam and the boys find time out from their busy schedules to
come to our side of town, we take advantage of the proximity of Nose
Hill Park and get out for a hike. This time, Owen & Evan brought
their new puppy, Kipper, and took him for a long walk.  |
Evan is starting to take an interest in the plants and flowers, but his preference is still BUGS!
and the wasp nest that Grandpa had knocked down from under our deck was most intriguing.
