Highlights from a week with Grandma

Last week Dave headed north for a week at the Climber's Ranch. This has become a yearly tradition in which my dad joins him as they help prepare the ranch for the summer. We have learned life without daddy is no fun so we usually go spend the week with Grandma Leslie who is home alone as well. Here are a few highlights from this year's stay (no pictures I forgot the camera and my mom was cameraless as well)

*Hot Dog roast with cousins
*Playing with the big toy tractors in the garden
*Taking the dog on a walk through the field (only a few mosquito bites)
*Shopping with Grandma--hit the big sell at Bath & Body
*Going to Willow Park with the boys and seeing a peacock fly at Miles' head--and then seeing Miles want to chase the peacock around the park
*The kids yelling "clock, clock" everytime my Grandma Lee's Grandfather clock would chime
*Cotton, cotton everywhere--who knew it could snow in June
*Playing in the park with cousins
*Mindy making psookies (sp) really big cookie in a skillet...yum!
*Lots of great cool weather and some tremendous thunderstorms
*Visiting the Munk's farm--Miles liked the baby cows and is still talking about the tractor even though it made him cry
--Ian liked the tractor ride Jerry took him on and has now decided Jerry is his best friend
*Grandma made cute little folders for each of the boys and would work on their speech with them every night--it was so cute and now they will do it at home because Grandma made it cool. Miles says "do words, do words--get points." Hopefully his speech will improve a bit.
*Having someone to help with the meals, the laundry, the baths, the clean up.

Thanks mom we had a great week. Maybe next year you can come stay with us since Ian will be in school.
