I just returned from my second annual outing with Wyatt and Hank. This is the second year Sally has taken the young women (about 14 girls) on a backpacking trip to the Sawtooth Mountains and has asked me to be with the boys while she is away. I was greeted by a room full of flowers as only Sally can provide.
I have my own private antique filled space in the lower level of their home.
The days usually began with Wyatt and Hank greeting their friends from next door. It is such a pleasant neighborhood with nice people who have fun and watch out for each other. The two next door boys are the same age so they play with gusto and share each other's toys. There used to be a fence dividing the properties which has recently come down to make it easier to go back and forth.
Wyatt asked me to draw a target and make him an arrow so he could work at practice with his homemade bow.
Ginny gave me a rest by taking all the boys to the park.
We went to the city pool and Wyatt said he thought he would like a
snorkle. He was so kind and helpful the whole time I was there that I was happy to get one for him.
What more would a grandma want than two boys who run up and want to have snuggle time.
Wyatt was impressive as he practiced his Karate and listened so well to instruction.
Wyatt is Hank's protector and friend.
Hank loved his glasses.
Refreshing on the porch.
Going out to lunch.
Wyatt and Hank are very musical as you might imagine. Every night before they go to bed they choose a song to sing and sometimes during the day they like to sing as well.
Sally is a photographer extraordinaire. She can even me look good.
I'll treasure the sweet photos she took of me and the boys.
We had lots of fun. Maybe she'll go camping again next year.

Those are nice pictures, mom. I'm glad you had such a good time. Amy
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming out Mom. The boys had a great time and are still talking about it. I didn't worry at all because I knew they were having so much fun with you. Thanks for cleaning my house too.
