Last time we went to the beach (Wagontrain reservoir) the boys hooked up with some other boys that had an inflatable boat. This last week, JP hit SuperTarget and bought the "Club 300" inflatable boat. It's like a cardboard box: it can be used for so many things. Here it's being used as a popcorn containment device in the living room. We took it to the beach yesterday and they played non-stop for 3 hours with it.
The Grammas stopped here on their way to and from OK City. Since we're in the middle of nowhere, Lincoln is the 1/2-way point to everywhere. We watched Daisy the dog for a week and will miss her. When she arrived she didn't know what to do or think. After a week with the kids & Maggie, she knew the routine: bark at anything outside, chase the kids, give sad eyes to anyone eating anything, etc. I think she lost 3 or 4 pounds during her visit without Great-Gramma giving her snacks all day long.
JP & Nana took advantage of some shade and a breeze and installed JP's new plants in the back yard. Last weekend we dug out a new flowerbed. I thought it would take all day, but with the heat and constant watering, the grass roots had withered, and the sod peeled up in one giant chunk. JP put in some Speedwells and a Korean Spice bush, and moved around the hostas that were there. We have the area by the trash can to do, and then the perimeter of the house should be complete (except, of course, for the patio/deck/pergola/???).
