The hampster wheel before it departed
Sometime just before the hampster wheel was taken down the lake by the instant storm that popped up.
Yep, Just as I suggested that the kids ought to come in a little closer, Abs lost her grip on the hampster wheel and there it started to go...east with the gentle breeze that started up. I swam for it, but could get no closer than three feet to it...for every stroke, my little wave ripple just pushed it further out... Can you say bye-bye?
Sadly we watched it head out on its own adventure. Poor Abs was devastated, but I reminded her that it was far more important that she stay with her brother, like she did.
In the end, Randy and Faye jumped int he canoe and fetched it back, not without some trouble, but by the time we were back home, the storm was under way, and Randy drove up with the Hampster wheel in the back of his truck... Thank-you Randy!
oh-Oh...did someone call for rain?
Blimey, this Limey tastes good! The sun was shining out in front of us!
And then the rains came, so we migrated upstairs for a little painting... Boy oh boy...did it pour rain and a little hail... no worries about a dry lawn or anything.
We all had fun experimenting with watercolours
After a nice dinner, we all descended upon the garde to pick raspberries. The bushes were loaded and we picked three big bowls of them.
Later we had a dish of icecream with raspberries on top,and then we headed outdoors for our schmore roast!
Gotta do what ya gotta do when the campfire ban is on!
Lynn's marshmellow browned up nicely ( mine caught on fire!)
Abbi and her schmore....
A schmore is still pretty tasty ,even if it wasn't made on a campfire

"Hmmm. Today, I think I'll choose a floaty that won't blow away..."

So it was a jam packed weekend, but oh so nice to see Lynn's grandkids again. Sadly, they weren't here the same time that Kaleigh and Maddie were, but we still created some fun and I think they had a pretty good week-end! I certainly did! Thanmks Lynn for bringing them out and bringing all of your goodies! I feel like rolly polly tonight!
LAter this afternoon, Joyce and Lynn put on a surprise birthday party for me... I'll tell you all about it when Lynn sends me some photos! Thanks my dear sisters!
