Grandma holding DaniEvery Memorial Day weekend the Jeff's side of the family (aunts, uncles, and cousins) all get together and have a dutch oven cook off with a winner in main dish and dessert. It's always a lot of fun and this year was no exception! Jeff's parents had filled the sand box clear over the top and had all kinds of new toys to find and play with in there. They also had gotten a few little bikes for the grand kids to ride, Reed and Marian both were sad that were weren't going to take them home with us :o) Marian did have a little accident when she was playing on the teeter toter, somehow she ended up falling off? We really don't know how or what she did but she ended up being fine so, all's well that ends well, right? Anyway Dani made some new friends and learned that she doesn't always have to take a nap when she is supposed to. Reed loved having older kids to run around and play with and Marian well, she's just Marian, she loved everything from playing in the sandbox to riding in Uncle Dennis's 4 wheeler thing. Even the humming birds were there to put on a show! There were at least a dozen of them darting in and out of Catherine's garden! As we are driving home, again Jeff and I dream of the day we might some day be able to have our own open space like that up there. But for now we are happy where we are at :o) Till next time!
