thursday at pam's

She invited us for lunch.
On Easter there was so much snow still this trampoline was stuck in a snowbank.  That was a very big bummer to the kids who love it.    They imagine Pam jumps on it every day.

 Here they found a little tree frog near the woods.














This little fake rodent made me jump, but no harm in it.  This is a great hamster--no cage to clean, no smell, no dying or drama.  Perfect.


This was the effort trying to leave.  They didn't want to go, obviously.  This hammock is really nice, but wow, kind of a hazard.
Back at home again we talked about going to the little pool, but Tim didn't want to because of those little hyper kids who pound on him the whole time.  (They're always there it seems like.)   And p.j. would NOT put on a swim diaper.  

Sigh.

Little Jay helped us exhume this relic from the garage--bought in about 1993 on clearance around the 4th of July.  We patched a couple holes and got some duct tape to hold together the frame where there are cracks.

And she wouldn't swim because while the pool was in the garage, a mouse might possibly have touched it.   We washed it with soap and water before we filled it, but that didn't suffice.  

Then she thought she heard someone mention a dead mouse, but nobody did.  "A mouse DIED in there?  I'm never going in it now!"

No, no mice died in that pool.    And by the way, it was washed with soap.  It's fine.

Nope.  She's a tough customer sometimes, has her own ideas.  

The sun is shining and it's 80 perfect degrees out.

Thank you Pam and your family for the fun day yesterday.  We had a blast.    love you all so, Val
