GRANDKIDS WINTER VACATION (Part 3)

The kids and I making Valentine cookies. They made 3 large ones to give to Rachel, Hannah, and Noah, who were coming to dinner later in the day.

Mackenzie made Valentines for the F______ Family

"Katie"

This past summer we took Jessie and Mackenzie camping down at Northampton Beach Campsite. We camped beside the F________ Family. They have 3 children: Rachel, Hannah and Noah. The kids had a great time together. Mackenzie was very concerned that she'd "never" see them again, so I decided it'd be nice to invite them to dinner while Mack and Katie were here. I almost forgot to take pictures, so had to take them all just before they left. The kids had a good time and we enjoyed visiting with their parents; Jeanne and Mike.

GRANDKIDS WINTER VACATION (Part 2)

Friday night Larry and I met our daughter Sue in Richfield Springs which is about half way between her house and ours. Kenzie 8 and Kate 2 1/2, were excited to say the least. They had a snack at Stewart's before we left for the cabin. We had hardly gotten our coats off when Kenzie read to us what she had written about King and Queen of Valentines day, which is the blog preceding this one.

Today (Saturday) they played inside all morning and then went outside this afternoon for about two hours. Below are some pictures.

Grandpa couldn't stand it, he had to go out with the girls. As you can see, he dug them a snow cave. He was hurting too cause he'd chased after Molly (dog) this morning when Molly was chasing a fox. Gpa (Larry) tried to run on the crust but kept falling through, finally fell and didn't know if he was going to get beable to get up or not. He's been complaining of a sore hip ever since, of course it didn't stop him from shoveling and digging a cave for Kate and Kenzie. Gma (me) had to be sure the cave was safe and Gpa said he made sure it was and it couldn't hurt them if it did cave in and besides, Gpa stayed with them while they were playing.

TWO OF MY 9 BEAUTIFUL GRAND DAUGHTERS

MACKENZIE STARTS 3RD GRADE

Mackenzie "Kenzie", grandchild #9. I can't believe she's already in 3rd grade. I remember quite a bit about being in 3rd grade. I had my first crush on my husband and I think I was the teachers pet that year.

Kenzie is eight years old and a cheerleader. As soon as I get a picture of her in her uniform, I'll post it. We will be going to her cheerleading competition in October and will also get to see her cheer at one of the games.

KENZIE LEARNING TO RIDE A 2 WHEELER

One of Kenzie's goals this week was to learn to ride a two wheeler. Well, here she is the first day here trying and succeeding with some help from Grandpa. It didn't take her long and she was determined which is 75% of the battle.

The bike was her Uncle Scott's first bike and the one Kenzie's mother also learned on.

(It has a crossbar to make it a boys's bike)

The look of determination!
