Fun & games

Been busy here with TWO grandsons instead of one. A pleasant turn of events had us bringing #2 grandson back with us after all.

Staying up late and sleeping in, doing something or just having a lazy, don't-have-to-do-anything kind of day has been the order of business so far. They both completed a summer reading assignment during their first week here, and our regular indoor activities of board games, jigsaw puzzles, at-home movie nights, etc., have been keeping us otherwise entertained.


Monday of this week we were off to see the new Harry Potter flick, which are always at the top of their "wanna see" list. Other than the noise levels, it was an enjoyable outing. These movies are always well done, but I have to say, my poor aging ears don't take well to the overly loud acoustics of modern day action films! Poor Lew almost has to take his hearing aids out!!


It's always a bit challenging to try to come up with new places to go and different things to do, but this year a day of picnicking and swimming at nearby Greenbrier Lake did the trick. They're both eager to go back, which was the result I was hoping for. When their dad was a youngster, it was one of our favorite summertime spots. I think they like doing the same things their dad did. :)
