Summer's End

 How is it even possible? Summer can't come to an end when it feels like it hasn't even started. It's such a crazy year with Covid shutting things down, selling a house and trying to move.

When our grandsons found out school was about to start, they broke down and cried, not that they were crying over school, but that they haven't had their summer vacation with us.

It's true, traditionally we have the boys for two weeks every summer but with trying to sell our house it's put a crimp in our plans. Knowing how sad they were, and I'm still not convinced it wasn't their parents who were the ones crying, I threw caution to the wind and said they should c0me for at least one week. 

I can play for a week.

So they came and we played.

We also had a fun visitor who throughly enjoyed the boys as much as I did.

Elsie and her parents came for a couple of days and boy did she have the twins wrapped around her finger. 

If truth be known, she had us all wrapped around her cute little fingers.

She even brought her swim suit 

and was quite the bathing beauty.

The boys loved spending time with the horses as well. We didn't ride every day but they were good helpers on the farm, I would even go as a far as deeming them horse whisperers.

Farm kitty welcomed their attention and appreciated being brushed everyday.

Scooter riding and playing with the neighbors was a hit also. 

They are at the age where playing with the neighbors was first on their list of things to do.

It's truly going to be hard leaving our neighbors as they are like my extended grandkids. We've watched their family grow from one child to four. 

Next year the boys will have to make a playdate instead of having the convenience of running back and forth from house to house.

A week went way too fast but now it's go time, we have a house to pack up. 

The end of August is approaching fast.
