So much to do

There really is so much to do at Grandma and

Grandpa's house. They have a great setup for

grandkids to come play. I don't think I heard

the kids say once that they were bored or ask

what they could do, they just always had

something.

Paris always wanted to catch frogs. There are

millions near the stream running close to the

house, but I never got a chance to take her

down there, in grubby clothes, to catch a few

(we would be eaten alive by the buggies too)

We did get to hold a couple though. There

was one in the yard that I caught, holding

Winter I might add. Yeah, I think I'm a stud.

And one that Grandpa found cornered in the

hose box.

He must have liked Paris because he didn't even

try to jump out of her hands

She tried to show daddy, but he was trying to get

the remote controlled helicopter to fly.

They loved playing in the water. It's awesome because

Grandma and Grandpa have both a hot and cold faucet

connected to the hose so the kids had warm water to

play in.

There were lots of pretty things in bloom. I have no

idea what this is...but I like it!

The raspberries weren't quite ready yet, but they picked

the ones that were. Tasty!

Paris and her "treasures"

Grandma's bubble machine was so cool.

Gazillions of bubbles!

And of course dogs. And goats, which I'll post later.

The marbles were one of Lex's favorite things...

endless hours of marbles! He was also without

his beloved Wii while we were there, but luckily

Grandma had gotten a "wii type thing" as Lex

called it, that had different sports. It was a great

substitute.

The kids also loved riding with Grandpa out

into the forest on his ATV to set up his motion

detector camera that would get pictures of

wildlife. And being caught in a rainstorm on the

way back. They were drenched in a matter of seconds!

They also enjoyed holding Blue the hamster.

He's so cute. Lex would like me to add that one

time when they were playing with him, he crawled

up Lex's shorts and it tickled!
