from the weekend

I don't even know.   That's just Robert posing with Sidney.

 Heidi is making pickle wraps here.

Old video games:

 My cousin invited all us cousins to her house.

Her house is beautiful and so is the pool.

We all swam and everyone brought food.

.

In the red swimsuit there is my little cousin Doug, talking to Jay.  When Jay and I were married, Doug was a child, about ten years old.  He was a charming, tiny baby brother, now an accomplished construction manager.

He also has a good memory.

He remembers many things about us, specifically things about Jay and his old boat.  Jay used to load all my cousins in the back seat, across that wooden bench and take off like a bat out of hell, turning this way and that while the spray drenched them and they happily screamed along.

We were young fools, not attempting to create any memorable moments for anyone, but that's how life works out.

You just never know.

 At the lake another pool was purchased to amuse the babies.

This is the hot tub side. The other side is the splash pad side.

Okay.

He's cold and wrapped up in a towel.   As soon as he warms up again, he's right in the fray.

I love all of you beyond all sense.  xo.   love, Val, aka Grandma
