And having fun inside...
We have also been enjoying local festivals and fun. Last weekend was the 26th annual Mule Festival. We went to the fairgrounds with Grandma & Grandpa Graves. We enjoyed good food, browsing around, and some entertainment. This weekend was the Old Settler's Reunion. Grandma Laura & Loren are here visiting and we enjoyed wandering around the square for this community activity. There were booths, more yummy food, and a parade! We really do love our new small town life! :) There is supposed to be an amazing pumpkin patch that is on our to-visit list...hopefully we will get there in the next week or two.
This was our homecoming week. The game last night was tough. However, it will be remembered as a great night for me because Mack got to enjoy the company of ALL of his grandparents. What a great thing to see...he was the happiest little boy around and jumped from holding one hand to another. SO GREAT! Grandparents are the BEST! I found the following quotes and thought they were appropriate and reminded me of our time together last night:
"Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children."
"Grandparents are similar to a piece of string...handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of their grandchildren."
"The simplest toy, one which even the youngest child
can operate, is called a grandparent."
"Grandparents make the world...a little softer,
a little kinder, a little warmer. " 
Pictures from Old Settlers:
This last picture cracks me up. Not only do they look just alike but they act alike, too!! They are doing the exact same thing here! :)
Bugs (continued):
Here is a picture of an imperial moth larvae that we found at the park one day at recess. It is HUGE...just like all of the other 'bugs' I have been admiring. :)
The 1st is compared to an adult hand, the 2nd is compared to a 1st grade child.
Have a GREAT week!
