The Last Splash of Summer....

Taking advantage of a warm Saturday afternoon we gathered our swimwear, smores sticks, and hotdog buns and headed to Kuna to Grandma Lockhart's house. She lives across the street from Indian Creek. The little park in her neighborhood that borders this creek has a great little swimming area that runs off to the side of this very swift flowing creek. During the summer months there are many floaters on tubes going down this creek. This is really an irrigation creek running through this natural creek bed, no cement here. When they turn off the irrigation water around the valley this creek dries up. You can walk where once it was knee or waist deep or deeper. There is a railroad tressel that crosses the creek very close to the swimming area too. Emily loving trains was enthralled as a train went by while she was on the floating mattress. It was very loud!

Sunday afternoon fun at Grandma's house...

Sunday afternoon fun at Grandma's house.

There is a little park right across from Grandma Lockhart's house in Kuna with the perfect hill for rolling. The kids had a blast coming up with all kinds of variations on rolling competitions.

Emily decided to try the rolling stuff too. Too funny!

Reading with Grandma...

Emily loves books. Grandma Lockhart found a new book for Emily called "Goblins". It was sweet to see the intensity on Emily's face as Grandma read the new book to her.

Emily calls her new book "Globbins" and loves to sit down and read it frequently each day since Grandma brought it to her.

Reading with Grandma...

Emily picked up a book in her mouth and crawled like a puppy and barked for Grandma Lockhart to read a story to her. It was cute when she panted "yes" with her tongue hanging out.

Croquet Fun!

While Grandma was here she had them working on projects around the house. They were happy to help for the most part! She also took the time to teach them a game of croquet. They had fun and it was a perfect day for it too!

Another Quiet Sunday....

Today we were sitting around reading and then there is a knock at the door. It was Grandma Lockhart! The kids go running, "Grandmaaaaa!!" We were all pleasantly surprised and glad to see her. Well, Grandma wastes no time, "what do you have planned for dinner?" she asks. I had nothing planned we were going to my sister's! (My kind of Sunday cooking!) Well Grandma decided she would do it here and have my sister come to our house! (That works for me too!) Grandma makes everything into a masterpiece! And right away the kitchen became a busy place with Grandma and her grandkids beside her helping!
