GRANDPARENT TRAINING 101

 On Tuesday morning we went over and picked up our two granddaughters to watch them until Thursday afternoon. Averie is standing but not walking yet.
 The sofa was a great place to play for she would pull herself up and look out the window or go to the end and reach as much as she could from the counter. She is a very happy, contended baby.
 Ashtyn and I made some purple play dough. She had fun playing with it with Grandpa. She is growing up fast. She is talking clearer now, knows her colors and started counting. She just got potty trained and didn't have one accident.
We had a stroller for Averie, so we took lots of walks around the park. Ashtyn was a good hiker. Ashtyn and I went swimming one day. It was fun having the girls.
Mom and dad back from their anniversary trip to the Poconos. There will be a little boy added to the family in November. We enjoy getting to know our grandchildren.

FAMILY TIME

 June 18, Sunday, we drove to Millersville,PA from Virginia. We arrived about noon and by 1 we were at Brian's for a Father's day cookout.
 Chase showed us his car. He goes for his drivers licence in a few weeks. On Monday Larry and Chase played golf at Evergreen.
 Wednesday Larry, Eric and I played 18 holes of golf at Briarwood.  Well, I only played 6 holes and was the driver of the golf cart and had fun putting at each hole.
 It was a beautiful day and a beautiful course.
 We then went over to Eric's and Mystique's for  crab.
 Ali, Mystique's friend, taught me how to open the crab. Lot of work for a little meat. Tim holding their new little girl, Sadie.
 Our grand daughter, Averie. She is nine months old. She sure has grown since we last saw her.
Our other grand  daughters, Alivia giving Ashtyn a ride in the go car. It was a nice gathering of family and friends.
Sunday we played pitch and putt at Evergreen with Larry's sister Barb and her husband before heading to the Park City Diner.
This week we also had a visit from my son, Bob.  My sister, Lynda, came and we went shopping and then I went shopping with my friend Ruthann. A full week of seeing our family and friends after being away for 9 months. It is the reason we spend the summer each year in PA.

BACK AGAIN

 We were having problems with squirrels climbing on our screens on the lanai so Larry put some peanut butter in a trap. the next morning we had caught us  a possum.
 Larry let him go.
 The next morning he was back. We let him go again, but I guess he had his fill of peanut butter for he hasn't returned. We never  did get a squirrel.
On Memorial Day weekend we took our last trip to Epcot before leaving to hear the Spinners. More our kind of music and I love their choreography.
