Summer Days at Gram's- June and July 2013

The June visit  was during a heat wave; our activities centered around staying cool...

Canyon playing checkers with Toryn.

 

Swimming at Randy's pool. Canyon spent most of his time under water. 

 

Trek splashed and kicked- and was so proud that he could touch the bottom this year.

 

In Gram's little pool, Canyon practiced snorkeling.

Both boys dove for Battle Beasts at least a hundred times.

 

Canyon engineered a dam.

 

Trek was "Mighty Mud"- a hero who delivered mud to the engineer in a crisis.

 

Trek spent as much time as possible with Mocha and Aiko.

 

I made some shade over the sand pile where they played (with more water) while I took care of a few things in the garden.

The July visit was during monsoon season and it wasn't quite so hot. 

A summer rain shower without lightening and thunder! What fun!

 

Canyon helped split the wood, build the fire and get it started. He did a great job!

 

Roasting marshmallows is almost as fun as eating them!

 

The boys howled with Bo every evening. He loved it!

 

Playing in the tree house....

 

Climbing trees...

 

 

Cooling off in Gram's small pool... 

 

And enjoying a "McGram's Happy Meal"- complete with a cheeseburger, home-made fries, apple slices, apple juice...and of course, a toy!
