Grand day

     Today is the day that “Mommom” got to spend with the grandbabies while their Mom and Dad got to go have some adult time.   This morning they went to the shooting range for some target practice with hubby and their friend who is travelling with them.  After a quick trip home for lunch, some kiddie time, hubby drove them and our three kayaks off for a couple of hours of drifting down the New River, just the big kids. Hubby will hang out until time to pick them back up and return them to our house.  That has given me some quality time with the little kiddos.   Today we took “walk, walks” but not in Daddy’s shoes

We tried taking walk, walks outside, but the little princess didn’t want to keep her shoes on and the big boy thought the gnats were too much of a bother, so we came in and tooks naps where they landed.

     Yesterday, we took a four mile family hike up to the Cascades, a beautiful waterfall near our house. Most of us shed shoes and socks and waded only to find the water much too cold to stay in for long.  The crazy young adult men braved the frigid water and went for a swim.     

     The past two days I have gone out to find 1 to 5 of the chickens outside of the pen, free ranging unsupervised.  I think I finally figured out where they are escaping and need to make that part of the pen more secure.  One of the girls must think she is a dinosaur as her eggs have been extra jumbo this week.
