June to Kristine and Lynne - week at Nanna's (1)

 


I found some watercolor experiments in a stack and sent some of them in translucent envelopes that do not photograph very well.

Here is a real time post - because out of the blue, I discovered two days unfilled. This happened right before the 6th Annual Grandkids Spend a Week at Nanna's House. This annual adventure began when they were 3 and  5 years old.  Six years ago, I was younger and more energetic and could keep them entertained. 

The whole point of the kids coming to Iowa was to give their parents a stay-cation. Now that the kids are old enough to be shipped off to sleep-away camp - the parents get those 2 weeks off - so I told my daughter she'd have to come for the week at Nanna's - and figure out what to do with a 9 and 11 year old.

Their main activities are baseball, dance, tennis, skiing, gymnastics, basketball, volleyball and a little swimming. It's endless gross motor activity - and way beyond anything I can do. They are willing to try the art supplies - but the results are disappointing to them - so after about 30 minutes, they politely ask if they may be done. They've been invited to *cuddle baby goats* on Day Two...... there will be a full report tomorrow.
