I often include photos of the younguns in my posts. We were blessed with having the Grand Girl and Guy for overnight stays in August, as well as a number of other visits. I decided it was time for a Grands post.

Michael and I traveled to our daughter’s home so the guys could work on several projects. This allowed me to hang out with Moogie and her mom. The Grand Guy was learning plumbing, or at least that plumbing is a thing.

We left them functioning faucets and clean kiddles.

At about the same time, my mother was enjoying the other set of Grands at her house.

I notice we take a lot of photos of Moogie. She is quite charming.

When the Grand Girl arrived for her visit, one of the first things we did was take her on a tour of the deer stands. We have two that are enclosed and with easy enough access that even I can get into them.

She helped me with turning some tires someone left in our ditch into flower planters.

We had to go into town to buy the flowers, which took us past the ice cream shop and the falls overlook.

We found a good bedtime book.

She enjoyed the watermelon that grew from the seeds she planted this spring.

Fueled with watermelon and pancakes, she took Zeke on his 2 mile walk to the river.

We took her to the Minnesota State Fair before returning her home.

We picked the Grand Guy the next morning. He LOVED riding in the Ranger.

We had everyone over for dinner, and all the Grands went home with their parents. We are so blessed to have children close enough to visit regularly. It makes for a wonderfully energetic space, encouraging us to keep working to make this a place children want to be.
