Nicole, Morgan, Bryce and I went to the Saginaw Children's Zoo with Grandma "Dear" on Thursday. My Mom is actualy Grandma Greer but when the kids were little they couldn't say Greer, so they call her Grandma Dear. It is fitting name because she is so "dear" to us all!
Our favorite amimals were the penquins.
And the monkeys!
It wouldn't be as much fun without a little cotton candy!
Marnie celebrated her 14th birthday on Saturday. Joel and Kelly bought her a gun so she can go hunting this year! She is getting ready for back to school, and will be on the Lapeer West freshman volleyball team. She certainly has become a lovely young lady, not the little girl we met when she first moved here. Marnie, stop growing up so fast! Love ya!
Bryce, Morgan and Nicole showing off their craft project.
Morgan glues ribbon onto the inside of her book so she can tie it closed.
This is Bryce showing the front of his book with lions, monkeys and elephants on it.
And this is Bryce when I told him to turn it around and show me the back of his book!
Nicole learned how to use a brayer to make sure everything is glued well.
She added some ribbon to the cover of her book to dress it up a little bit.
Bryce, Morgan and Nicole with their finished book projects. It only took an hour and a half!
That's me, Traci, Val and Jennifer up north posing for my signature tree photos. (I like to take pictures of people peeking out from behind a tree!) We always have fun, relax a little, swim a little, have long talks where we solve the worlds problems (if only we were in charge!), and laugh a lot!
