Nicole, Chris and Somer were out at a birthday party for Nieva for the morning. Somer came home with a balloon (BAL-oon) and a package of stickers she won in a game. They had a bonfire and tubing, and the older kids road a canoe down the driveway. Meanwhile, Grandma Jan had progressed to level 2 bread making and was creating hamburger buns at home. Came out rather well, if I do say so as shouldn’t. After rap time we all headed for the Garveys’ for dinner. Chris, Larry, Somer and Jan walked over, and on the way saw a couple of deer. We were warmly greeted by Amy, Marcus, Grace and Champ [the dog] and Amy’s parents, Jean and Blake, who are visiting from Washington State. Nicole arrived later with salad and buns and we all enjoyed a delicious meal of home-made burgers with great conversation and much laughter. Near the end of the evening Jan bean to sneeze and snuffle. Uh-Oh maybe the hot tub will fend it off.
