Tucson times

Another week, another expedition! Daughter-in-law went to girl's camp so we covered for her for 3 days.  We had a great time with our grand daughters and kept them busy.... or maybe they kept us busy.   Either way it was fun.

There are no photos but we had a great time swimming and were impressed with their skills.

We made 'slime' with glue and borax.

 

 We also made clay.  The mermaid got sleepy as you can see. I am so impressed with their creativity.

 We enjoyed getting to know this youngest grand daughter.

She picked up this card and proceeded to have a conversation....on the thinnest telephone ever!
I am excited to get in on the conversation....once we learn to speak the same language.

We discovered a pumpkin in their garden and got permission to carve it. 

What is wrong with an early Halloween?  And who could resist a chance to play with fire?  Not Grammy for sure!

There were treats, a movie at the theatre, and lots of other fun thanks to Sara's good planning.
We may have even built forts out of blankets. I seldom let my kids do this as it seemed to make such a mess.  I'm trying to better as an old lady.

We are so thankful for our kids and their efforts to raise righteous families.  We have decided however, that there is a reason parenting happens when we are younger!  It gets harder as we get older and lose stamina and strength. Still, we love these times we get to spend with these amazing kids and getting to know them better.
