Grandparent's Day

Papa and Onnie had a wonderful time with Mason at Grandparent's Day.

Mason memorized 3 poems to share with them and even had a speaking part in the program.

We are very thankful for the fabulous grandparents in our lives!

HOCO22

I have absolutely NO idea how this a happened, but these little girls somehow turned into young ladies.

Stunningly dressed for their first ever homecoming dance!

Fancy like.

Gus and Lenny

For one night only, we got to make our kids' dream come true! 

French Bulldog brothers, Gus and Lenny, were overnight guests on their travels to their new homes in Arizona. 

Gus will live with Jentry's Stenger family and Lenny will gain a new brother Nico at my cousin Dani's house.

I admit they were pretty cute and even slept better than I anticipated, however they sure were a lot of work! And the amount of equipment required is more than you realize.

Everyone was sad to say goodbye but it was fun while it lasted.

River Rats

After more than a decade, I was able to fulfill my river rat desire again by kayaking down the Republican. The Hamilton's coordinated the trip, lined up vessels and life jackets and into the water we went.  

It took us approximately 3 hours to float from the reservoir spillway to the Naponee bridge. Outside of a couple capsize events, it was the most perfect afternoon. Temps were in the low 80s and not a cloud in the sky.
