some kids

We hadn't seen these guys in a while and they were so nice to grill hamburgers and spend a few hours with us.  

So much fun.  I haven't laughed this much in a while.

Lacrosse has started and they're off to a good looking season.

And volleyball too, can tell she's getting better each season.

This was the concert and Inventor's Fair, very nice evening.

Joe especially loved the songs that had the recorders playing.

Recorders are actually not that easy to play, and are easily out of tune. They did great.

That's her with the invention--an insert to keep all the items in the lacrosse bag from sliding into a heap.  It was important it not add a lot of weight to the bag.  Seemed pretty successful.

The other inventions were cool too.  One child had a guinea pig cage where you turn a crank and the plastic flooring on a roll slides straight into the trash, little poops and all.  Very useful and creative.

 Lots of love, Grandma
