Mill Creek

We did  a little something different with the big kids one day this Summer...took them down to Mill Creek.  they enjoyed it a lot and were amazed at how cold the Spring water was.....here they are crossing the low water slab

Had fun catching minnows and crawdads!

peaceful place to be!

We sure had a good time that day!!

 

River Dog

Fun times with the kids!

One time this Summr when we put the boat in the kids there was a stray dog at the cabin...believe it came from some other people upriver....Emily was not a fan! haha

Fuzzy because I was laughing too hard to take the picture   When we drove up the cabin that day it was laying in the sandbox..with a cat!  ha   the cat ran off but the dog stayed around for the day.

 

Day on the River

These pictures are from earlier this Summer  We took the two "big kids" to the river oneday.  Emily brought her fave pet along    "Howler" haha  she even had a life vest for it!

Tyler is getting so tall!  By this time next year he will probably be taller than me!

Up below Terry Chutes...using the same blue bucket our kids used...

She loved climbing on these logs

She is something else!  We sure had  good time with them that day!

 

Tea Party

Emily likes to have a tea party sometimes when she is at her house. We very carefully use her Great Great  Grandmother's  tea set. We use lemonade in it and usually have a small snack to go with it. This time we used vanilla cupcake flavored goldfish!

Note that she brought  a special outfit for this actiity! haha

We sure had a good time!

Kids' Day

One  of the days I had the kids this Summer.  The doctor and her assistant!

Ben was pretty busy on something else!

Howler was helping Emily paint!

 I sure enjoyed the time I spent with the kids this Summer!

Yard

I am trying to get caught up on here...this is "dead man's  fingers" or toes maybe    a fungus I saw growing earlier this summer

I enjoyed the catbirds this Summer....we always have some nest in our yard.
