babysitting at the lake

 Joe and Heidi attended the wedding of an old friend, took the baby with them and left us their other girls and their dog.  We had a god time.  She loves taking a bath, so this kept her  happy for a long time.

 There was cooking and fun, and plenty of aunts and uncles to lend a hand.

 The woods grew like crazy in one week:

 It was cold yesterday afternoon, but they braved the sandbox anyway.

 Before bed, she requested, "Dimmer," after asking for food all day and then eating one bite.  This dimmer she ate--all the fried rice--and then we went to bed.

 These guys played Apples to Apples while I put the little child to bed.  There was so much laughing and hollering.

 It was a fine Saturday night. 

Love, Val
