Weekend with the kids

Disclaimer:  There are too many pictures here. Last week we went to the baby blessing of Calvin Scott. He did a lot of sleeping. His brother did a lot of snacking. They are a sweet little family. Later this week, they came for a visit. We went swimming. Played out side. Roasted marshmallows. -notice the one on grandpa's chin- He enjoyed the snacking. An we played with Calvin too. Here is an update on our project out back. There is no fence,  in fact, there is less fence.
