Summer summary

A tough year of preschool, I couldn't wait for the last day.
 As the finial bus pulled out,  I shouted HOORAY!

Trips to Idaho, I didn't take heed. 
After these two moved to town, there wasn't a need.
They fill my Grandma cup in ways I can't explain,
                                There's never a dull moment, they surely entertain.
     Our church did a Trek, reenacting the pioneers
                                        Pulled handcarts, through rivers, up hills 
                                                       and across the frontier.
           Then came the wedding, our youngest did marry.
          With family and festivities, it was quite extraordinary.
         I found time to ride my bike and horse,
    Bask in the sun, 
 quilt,
sleep in, of course.
In the neighbors back yard under a starry sky,
friends gathered to watch a movie about dragons that fly.
It's hard to see summer come to an end,
In less than two weeks preschool begins again.

I've been trying to leave another comment and twice it disappears before I'm finished. So here I go again. Those two little boys are just too cute. I especially love the one with all the tissue paper all over the floor.

What a wonderful summer. Oh those grandsons of yours are just too cute. Have a great couple of weeks of what's left for this summer's break. School around here starts tomorrow for most everyone. Take care.

What a wonderful poem, and how many terrific things it recounted! Those babies are just about as precious as they can be- I can't wait for grandkids!

Your summer might have been busier than mine, and that hardly seems possible! It sounds like it was full of many good things, and I like your creative way of writing about it. I'm proud of you for taking pictures. I failed at that for the most part! Thanks for sharing.
