Weddings & Community Events

This weekend our grandson was in a wedding, and though there will have been many good professional pictures taken, I had to get him in his little suit.  I tried... but he's a bit of a blur unless someone is hanging onto him, so I'll use the one with Bestefar...

Along with a community-wide garage sale this weekend, our local garden centre also had a petting zoo & hot dog day.  Since none of us have animals, this was novel for the grandkids, and they loved the close encounters with the animals they generally only read about.  

Annika is so quick to grab at glasses or earrings, and has an iron grip, so I was rather wary with allowing her to touch the chicks and kittens. But she touched them very gently, and was all smiles at the sight and feel of them.

Haley waited patiently in line for her face to be painted.  She knew exactly what she wanted - a flower on both sides - and sat very still until it was all done.

Annika's gentleness with the little animals wasn't as evident here, but this older dog wasn't at all perturbed about having his fur pulled by an enthusiastic little girl.

The craft Haley made... 

A horseback ride!
