Love the Sky




My granddaughter, Bailey, shared photos she had taken of the sky with me one day. I was astounded at the beauty she had captured. I guess I had never paid much attention to the sky...not anymore...I rue the times I don't have my camera, because, as Bailey said, " I take pictures because I know I'll never see that same sky ever again!" So...here are some photos from my own little patch of sky.

Wildlife


Yep, it's a snake...I'm just glad Reed got home first to see it slithering onto the driveway...this photo is postmortem!

I thought I was chasing a butterfly, but realized it was a moth...and I find moths a little creepy...but, certainly not as creepy as the aforementioned SNAKE!!

Amongst the Blooms: Enjoying Our Yard







Cache Camp 2011


What's our next project, Grandma??" Unfortunately I forgot my camera on our expedition to the park to ride the paddle boats, but we made a "field journal" out of a 3-ring binder, and a clipboard with an "outdoor alphabet chart" to note special sightings on our adventure...f for feathers, p for poop...LOTS of g for geese, thus the p for poop of the goose variety!

In the "Reading Tent"

Cache chose "King Burger" for dinner, and the best part was the play area!



We finished the evening at an indoor, blacklight mini golf venue...as Cache said, "I got a 1, Grandpa got a 1, but Grandma didn't!"
Saturday was the Grandpa part of Grandma camp! Cache and Grandpa went fishing and then did "man" projects until it was time for Cache to go home. Another happy camper!

Bailey's Grandma Camp July 2011


In the "Reading Tent"


We watched Roman Holiday, and made scrapbook pages of the famous sites in Rome.

Bailey loves Olive Garden, and she introduced us to her favorite bottled Italian water.

Bailey's Grandma Camp had an Italian theme...we studied Italian art, culture, food...and wished we could be in Italy!
