week 27

The Lakehouse...

Both the kids really got kayaking down this year and spent a lot of time doing that.

Daddy had to head home early. None of us were very happy about it.

Having to say goodby for the week.

Grandma started a new tradition which was campfire entertainment and s'mores. She had the kids prepare a skit or song or jokes to share. It was so much fun. Oak had been working on learning the song Grand Ole Flag so she sang that.

This year I bought journals for the kids just for the lakehouse and I had them write in them every night the things they did. I will have them write in them every year. And then they can remember all the fun memories they made.

None of the grandkids were at grandma and grandpas for Easter so Grandma decided to do the egg hunt at the lakehouse for the 4th of july.

We stopped at my aunt's house on our way home from the lakehouse. My kids adore her and she adores them.

maybe a year ago Mac had asked her to paint him a Civil War painting and she followed through. It is amazing and Mac really loved it.

She also knows Oak so well and made her the softest pillow.

The day after we got home the kids had their first baseball game. They really loved play Junior Giant baseball this summer.

Then we went on a rock dig with the local rock enthusiasts. We didn't come very prepared and had no shovel or bucket. But a nice lady let us borrow her shovel and we found lots of the rocks we were looking for. I can't remember the kind of rock it was but it was a rock you can only find in the town where we live.
