Summer is off to a GREAT start!

Well, my mom's plan succeeded! My mom started a "mini-farm" for her grandchildren. First, dad built a barn for mom and then mom acquired some roosters and then right before she got sick added laying hens. She wanted the kids to see the hens lay eggs and eventually see the baby chicks hatch. Last week the kids got to see just that! They actually got to see the chicks cracking right out of the eggs! Emma, Abby, and John Brady were AMAZED!!! Three baby chicks! One for each! Aren't they cute??






Another favorite part of visiting mom and dad is picking strawberries!



And what is more fun than making a huge glob of bubbles?? This is what happens when you leave John Brady alone with a gallon of bubble juice!




Another fun activity: An afternoon of painting together.



Emma, Abby, and John Brady have also been swimming with MeMe and Pop and have been to the splash pad in Fayette with Nanny and Papa! This week Emma and Abby are attending the Mega Sports Camp at our church and John Brady is starting part time preschool at the preschool program at our church! And I am busy with photo sessions during and in between their activities. It's going to be a busy summer for us all!! :)
