Memorial Day Morning

Memorial Day morning (before it got too hot) in pictures and a few words:

First there was the joy of seeing the goslings at pond's edge. (7:14a.m.)

Then there was some admiration of the clouds. (8:29a.m.)

And, a little earlier than I expected, the arrival of two great-grandittles. (9:00a.m.)

Ayden

Greyson

Two cookie monsters? No, two cute connoisseurs of chocolate chip cookies.

There's one caveat about playing ball on the deck.....  (9:34a.m.)

.....you have to catch it. Because if you don't catch it.....

.....you have to go fetch it! (9:37a.m.)

Time out! Geese on parade. Those six little ones are so cute following Mama and Papa. (9:43a.m.)

One minute later....Play ball!

You try to keep up with two boys throwing two balls at the same time!

Oops! Another time out to watch the Monarch butterfly.

Now we have to check on what that neighbor is doing.

You should have seen Greyson's face when Grandpa Bud came around the corner with this mask on. He didn't utter a sound; just backed up a few steps. After he had a chance to play with it, he told Grandpa, "You scared me!"

We all took turns wearing the mask and scaring one another.

10:54a.m., time to leave to go to Grandma Shalea's and Grandpa Preston's. Greyson wanted us to go with them. He shed a tear or two when I said we couldn't go today.
It was such a fun two hours and I'm so glad Ki brought the boys to see us. How is it that the little ones can make great-grandma feel like a kid again herself? How do they so easily wrap me around their little fingers and play on my heartstrings like professionals? 💖💗💞👵
