| Weekend Coffee Share |
Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from Georgia this Friday the 13th. How you doing? The forsythia bushes & some of the fruit trees are blooming. I spent the week with Grands while their parents went on a spring break getaway. Grab a coffee or your favorite beverage & we'll talk about our themed days & how the camper transformation is going. I've got unpacking & laundry to do then I'm going to the opening baseball ceremonies this weekend.
 |
| Moma, Me, Sister - Read Across America with Dr. Suess. We take our homeschool day themes maybe a bit too serious. |
 |
| The youngest Grands explore in the garden. |
Messy Monday - Hotdog roast & catching tadpoles. Our pond has failed to hold water. It's still on our to-do list to line it with some Georgia red clay. For now, it's the perfect place where tadpoles can thrive.
 |
| Sometimes at Nana & Pa's house you have to cook your own food. |
 |
| About a trillion tadpoles were caught. |
Topsy Turvy Tuesday - Grand's birthday, desserts for every meal, meet the parents for lunch & an adventure outing. Desserts included birthday cake for breakfast, cinnamon roll for lunch, ice cream for snack & peach parfaits for supper.
 |
| Elk crossing in the national park. The Grands had never seen elk. It was a learning opportunity of all sorts - How do you spell elk, why is that one wearing a collar... |
 |
| One cinnamon roll was enough to feed the whole table. |
 |
| Snow tubing inside where the temperature is 65 to 70 degrees year round. |
 |
| Animals to pet, feed & hold at the zoo. |
 |
| Ice cream before I head back home with Grands. |
 |
| Happy 8th Birthday to Grand Jemma. |
Wacky Wednesday - Hat Day. Trail walk, playground, picnic, space presentation & local history tour.
 |
| We got our hats on heading to the picnic area. |
 |
| Stars & planets for lunch. |
 |
| We found lots of sweet gum balls along the trail & saw some squirrels. Dandelions were popped up everywhere. |
 |
| We walked to the river, skipped rocks then Sister took the oldest ones to a couple of local historical sites pertaining to the first settlers of the area. |
Thankful Thursday - Cooked a turkey, cleaned bedrooms & studied for Bible drills.
 |
| Grands prepped the turkey. |
 |
| The turkey cooked up beautifully, though it wasn't done in time for lunch as planned. Starving Grands got chicken bites quickly cooked in the air fryer instead. |
 |
| The parents brought home donuts in loving memory of Baby Grand's birthday & the cat's birthdays. |
 |
| Daughter always has the most beautiful centerpieces on the dining table. |
 |
| Happy 2nd Birthday to Grand Aisley, forever a part of our family story. |
 |
| It's a pretty blue color. It has rock lights underneath & speakers of some kind. It even has a ceiling fan. Yay! |
Kevin cleaned out the enclosed trailer, bought a side-by-side & already hauled it home while I was away. He wanted to get a side-by-side 1st, so he can build the camper around where the side-by-side will travel in the trailer.
 |
| Pear tree blooms. We've had a nice warm spell. A cold front is moving in Monday with temperatures dropping below freezing that will probably kill the fruit buds. |
These are some of the things that's has been going on in my neck of the woods, how has your week been?
You are a busy lady Karen. We are now experiencing our first major winter storm. We don't have alot of snow here but elsewhere towards the East it's blizzard conditions. We do need the moisture badly as lots of fires in the Black Hills.
ReplyDeleteWe're looking forward to coming out that way in the fall for a few weeks.
DeleteHello! I've been away from blogging for a minute and I see you've moved from SD! I look forward to catching up on your adventures in your new digs!
ReplyDeleteI've been away too, just got back into it.
DeleteYou have been busy! It looks like you have Spring!
ReplyDeleteIt is early-spring, we'll still have some cold weather. We just got some snow, though not the 3 inches some said was forecasted.
