🎵  In The Good Old Summertime 🎵

A day at the Water Park!

When the doors opened, we were one of

 the first, to enter the park.

Our grand kids had us climbing up to the top of EACH slide,

and plummeting to the bottom, with a splash.

I haven't laughed and screamed like that in a long time.

By the end of the day, Tom and I really enjoyed 

floating with inner tubes,

 down the Lazy River!

The temperature reached 

a new high for me!

108!

That's HOT!

Even a church reader board, 

had something to say about the heat.

Ila May loves to bake and she made

these adorable donuts.

They even matched the plate!

Our garden is producing!!!

We have been eating the best salads.

So pretty and delicious.

Here is Silas picking some tomatoes for me.

What is summer without swimming??

Five out of six, grand kids took lessons.

So fun!

Ok...

Just had to add a picture of 

Banjo.

 

We only let him watch HGTV.

"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."

Going To The Dogs

Banjo is ready to make his debut in the 

"Breeding World".

Banjo's story click here.

Banjo is a stud and will be used for breeding.

His breeder wanted pictures of him so buyers could see what the male 

dog looks like.

So off to the groomers we went.

Before picture:

We drove with the top down. 

 

Banjo loves the fresh air.

 

"I can't see you!

 Boy, do I need a trim"

After:

These are the pictures that the Breeder

 took for her portfolio.

We love this breeder. 

She involves all 7 of her children.

And she does it in her home!!

It was a very hot evening .

Banjo was such a good dog.

 

Then we went inside for 

a different type of picture.

The look on Banjo's face says it all!

Almost done...

Banjo's puppies will be born in September!!

Well, he won't be having puppies but

Murphy is.

What a STUD!

And Jesus said to him, " 'If You can?' All things are possible to him who believes."

Mark 9:23

4th of July in McCall

This is the trip I have been waiting for since the virus

stopped us from visiting Seattle way back in March.

I finally get to kiss and hug our 

grandchildren who live in Seattle!

Banjo was packed and ready to go.

Here we are (all of us) at the beach.

You can see my buttons bursting

and I'm grinning from ear to ear.

Hugs!

Nathan 

(Kimmy and Marks youngest)

Huxley

(Todd and Steph's youngest)

Even the dogs had play pals!

Well, that's what Banjo thought.

Not so much Abram.

Still hugging and holding!

"You have one, too???"

Uncle Mark ?

 I know you!

Levi and Trey were inseparable.

 

Huxley and Banjo.

Father, son...Father, son!

The beach was the best playground.

Below, are just three of the 20  pictures,

that we took of all the grandchildren.

 

They were all so good but 

the sun was right in their eyes.

How quickly they grow!

 

Shopping Buddies!

All the girls,

 walked to town,

 to do a little shopping.

More hugs and kisses

I loved watching all the play times and players.

Trey and Ommie

Trey and Levi with "Ommie-Goo"

Isaac and Banjo 

I always had a partner when I took Banjo for a walk.

One last dip in the lake!

Thanks McCall for the weather, water, and wonderful time.

Until we see you again,

I will cherish these memories.
