There were so many activities at Grandma Sandy's this week. This particular one was made up of tiny toys frozen in ice. Each child had their own and chipped away with whatever they could find. Rocks, sticks, etc.
Afton and Lydia teamed up which went really well until Afton's finger got smashed! She was sad for a minute and then realized the ice was broken and had fun checking out the toys!
Horses ready to play!
Clara and Lydia came to spend the night and Afton was SO EXCITED!!!
When they arrived it was kind of late so they curled up on the couch and watched half of Brave. Once they slept, they slept soundly and woke up before Brett's alarm had even gone off for work. WE are NOT an early bird house. Poor Lindsay who was staying here with baby Quincey was up by 5:30 - 6:00 every day. I couldn't do it.
Anyway, breakfast was cold cereal around 7:30 -
and Afton was more than happy to keep baby Quincey content!! Afton was soooo excited to have her staying with us for a couple of nights.
After breakfast we hit the trail. The girls had fun running around together and had made friendship anklets they were happy to be wearing.
Back at home we gave Clara her birthday present (July 6, same as mine) which happened to be nail polish so she and Afton went to work painting nails. Well, Clara went to work. Afton just reaped the benefits!
In between coats of paint the girls were coloring and eating peas they'd gathered in the garden!
One night at Grandma Sandy's the kids did shadow puppet plays. I loved watching their creativity and goofiness. Afton kept picking the horse... no surprise there!
Another day at Grandma Sandy's the girls played in the backyard...
the bounce house...
and the hammock....
One day we were able to meet Tim and his boys as well as Grandpa at the indoor pool. Grandpa was nice enough to take Afton around with him while I sat out!
