Thrills and spills

Father's Day. Daddy is wearing necklaces made by his boys.
We picked oranges twice, the sweetest, juiciest ever.

My son came June 10 and stayed three nights with me, here on business. His wife arrived with the children June 13 for a week and they enjoyed two nights away together. I had the grandchildren overnight four nights and every day was a great time with planned events including bowling with three families, outdoor concert, burritos, and dancing, Lindsay Wildlife Experience in W.C., picking oranges twice riding tiny cars, baby pool, 30-minute laps for me on nice enough days and once after MM joined me in his water wings, a Corvette car show and playground fun with us all followed by dinner at Naan 'n' Curry, attending church on Father's Day and being invited to a giant pot luck with friends after a fun time in the afternoon at my home. We all attended a friend's youth basketball game. I read lots of books to my grandchildren and set up two baby pools in the front yard. MM got a record 15 stacked blocks. We played Chinese checkers and Scrabble Junior. We went to two library story times and the dinosaur stories went great with the dinosaur shirts the boys wore that day. The playground by the library is new and fabulous. The tuna sandwiches and chips picnic was delish. Then inside the library was free lunches for children later and planting in the library patio. I showed them the stick-pull game the prophet enjoyed playing and they liked it too. Twice when we waited in the car for shopping I tutored them and sang songs. We stopped by to pet Sheba, the beautiful little black cat. They all took naps to go to the drive-in the last night and were all packed up to spend the night with friends and leave for home. We Facetimed E and D!
