We're Grandparents!

Heck no! It's just a sugar baby for Sophie's Human Services class. William or "Will" is the easiest baby and Sophie is a good mommy but let's make sure this day doesn't come for real for a very, very long time.

A Girl and her Cat

Camping

Tyler State Park but too cold for a swim but they did anyhow and lots of hiking.  Just to go to the bathroom, actually. You either had to climb a long steep set up dirt and log stairs or take the longer way around and up the road. Either way your reward was the use of the bathroom. The set of stairs did have a vine hanging down near the bottom that was fun to swing on.  Rhys' air mattress had a leak so that became a fun way to project young friends by jumping on it. A little visit to the local town had him set up with a new one. Also, Rhys took a huge spill and roll on blacktop and into dirt coming down a hill on his scooter in which no less than 5 first aid kits were rummaged through to find all that we needed to clean him and bandage him. Gave him some ibuprofen and let him take things real easy after that. He looked through his Legos magazines/catalogs and chatted with his youngest friend. It took him some time to heal and I believe his knee will scar.

Walk to School Day

Poor Sophie left for school early with her neighborhood friend to get an item they were handing out to the first several walkers. In her elementary years they would hand out refillable water bottles, pedometers, smoothie samples, and the like. They rode bikes which counted but what they left SO EARLY for was...a sticker! Disappointment and a good laugh.
