GJ Visit

GJ got Emmie a phone for her 10th birthday:

Surprise Subway School Lunch

ED&J

After school Root Beer Floats!
Emmie upset with my picture taking.

Goshen

Emmie claimed the Pringles en route.

Grandpa:  There's a couple light bulbs out in this pinball machine.
Emmie:  Well, you try engineering this thing and making all the lights, and numbers work.  A few lights being out isn't a big deal.

"Donatello is my new favorite turtle.  He's so smart and brainy....that's probably why his head is so big."

Oreo and Swedish fish for breakfast.
"Me too GG," says Jacob.

Shipshewana, IN

Like Mother, Like Daughter....enthralled with soft pretzels!

Randomly, Grannie Jannie texted and said they'd be near us in Goshen since were meeting Kim and fam in Shipshewana for the afternoon; we were on our way to Shipshewana at the time.  It's a small world after all.

I've been working on the railroad (patio)....

Miss MaryAnne

Civil War Reenactment

Emmie came across Lincoln Logs and insisted Mom be the Confederacy.  For days, I kept having to rebuild that which the dogs knocked down.

A few days later, I came across this scene and asked Emmie if she or the dogs had done the damage.  "I did.  The Confederates lost to the Union, right?  You got destroyed."

Additional features:

Breakfast with Sandy Sue

FunFest

Albert Pujols Report

Emmie did a report on Albert Pujols for school:

3 Generations

"I'm glad my Mom told me I'd have more fun here than at SuperSkate. She was right"

Beeswax waiting to be melted down and strained.  Emmie and Berkley were surprised to see bees solidified in the mix.
