A few weeks ago the boys spent the week at Grandma's and Grandpa's house. They look forward to this every summer. Trees to climb. A dog to play with. Acres of yard to play in. Being spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa.
I loved going to my Grandma's house. I don't know how many days and nights I spent there. Too many to count. Sometimes I would be there with my sisters. Sometimes some of our cousins were there too. We got to ride tractors with Grandpa. Feed animals. Go for walks. Follow the path in the woods (which was always somewhat scary to me). Play in the barn. Always had meat and potatoes for dinner. I can still smell dinner cooking. Watched Jeopardy with Grandpa. Sat outside under this huge oak tree shucking corn. Learned to crochet in her living room. Grandma let us pour milk from the creamer into our cereal because we thought that was so cool. I know our kids are going to have fond memories just like I do.

(To my sisters and cousins - sorry about the incredibly unflattering picture
of all of us - it was the only one I could find)
Elliott was graduated to driving the golf cart on his own this year - oh happy day!
Getting ready for fireworks. There is plenty of land so they can shoot them off with no fear of hitting anyone else's house (which is what I fear here at my house every 4th of July)
He truly used to fit into this Gator. Now look at his long 1st grader legs.
They spent a couple of days over at Holiday World (where they will not let you take pictures, which I think is crazy) and Evansville. Got to see this cool military ship docked in Evansville.
Celebrating Eli's 3rd birthday. Happy Birthday big guy!!!

I have fond memories myself at my grandmas house. A lot like yours. So happy the boys enjoy their time with them and looks like they had a lot of fun! Hoping you got some rest and some "me" time. Time with Brian as well. We are thinking of you. Praying for you.

What is even more amazing is that we spent so much time at Grandpa and Grandma's and didn't care in the least that it was 100 degrees outside and there was no air conditioning!
