Fun Stuff

Day Two:

I had to work so Ted was home getting the grandkids ready and off to school.  From what I heard - all went well and they got there on time!  After school it was back to the tennis courts, then they picked me up after work and we headed home.  

There's nothing like relaxing with a good book.

They had fun seeing how many times they could toss 'Parrot without dropping him.  We also raced around under the sundeck on an obstacle course timing each other, only I think they counted faster when they were timing my run, so I lost!

We have quite a few hummingbirds around our place, they love the plants.  Unfortunately this one hit the window and stunned himself, but we were able to get right up close for a look.  We wondered what length of time it would be before we should put him in a box to 'help' him get better, and we determined nine hours or so.  Eventually however he did fly off so we were very happy about that.

There's also a lot of indoor tennis being practised in the garage, note the blue x's to aim for on the plywood and garage door.  I think it's supposed to rain tomorrow so it'll be well-utilized I'm sure!

Discussing why they're called S'mores and we think we figured it out - they're so good you always want more so they would never be called Sh'lesses (get it?!)

Good to the last crumb, then it was some 'campfire stories' which were more funny rather than scary, and then it was off to bed.  Now I remember why kids sleep so good, they're nice and active all day, I guess that's what I need to change so I get better sleep too!
