Summer Fun

Summer outings in our backyard include all the children and grandchildren when we're lucky. If you think fun involves grilling, swimming, playing games, jumping on a trampoline and lots of conversation, then you are like us.




These two candid shots taken by Megan caught us both having lots of fun at the annual Fourth of July water balloon fight. No holds barred in this competition. Neal is standing next to Max, our newest grandson. Leila's smile reveals just a little of the fun she had, highlighted by a sneak attack and drenching of her beloved husband. The grandkids love filling the balloons almost as much as they enjoy spattering an adult!


To include everyone, we have had a small inflatable pool for kids worried about the deeper water. Slam dunks are much more difficult than they look!


This is Ella's first day swimming in the big pool. Her dad's hand gives you an idea of how tiny she was.

Everybody loves the water. And we love it when they come. There's nothing quite like a beautiful summer day, high temperatures, clear skies, and a swimming pool.

Luv the new blog and pictures. Keep them coming. The first picture looks like Neal is working with Max on his golf swing.
