Last weekend, we had our girls over again and had such a good time.
We went out for supper and then came home and spent some time outside as the weather was perfect!
They had taken this bucket along, because they know we have an over abundance of acorns and they wanted to bring some home to the squirrels in their yard. It didn't take long at all to gather all these.
After that, they tried to help Bob throw a weighted rope over some dead branches to pull them down. They've done this before, but on this night they had no success!
We thought we should go for one last ice cream outing of the season. They wanted to go to my Dad's favorite place, so we picked up my brother and took him too. Everyone enjoyed it, plus it was a nice night for a drive.
The next morning, Bob took the girls to get donuts. Someone had given him a gift card and the girls were thrilled to have a treat!
They had fun playing outside. Alaina was practicing her volleyball skills...
while Ruby played on the skooter.
They still like to play on the playset.
and had fun walking on a trail out back.We also did a fun craft that I'll show you next week. Before we knew it, it was time to bring them home.
Our girls are getting older and we know we have to appreciate this time while we can, and we do!
I'm so glad that your girls are close by and you take the time to spend time with them now. Those things that you are doing now are giving them memories, but they are also building blocks to keep those connections strong even when they are in college. I know from experience.
ReplyDeleteThey are so kindhearted to want to bring home food for their squirrels!! And the adorable looks on each face in the donut photo is priceless! I can't wait to see the craft, you always have the best ones.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great weekend! I can tell you all enjoy your times together! Memories being made!
ReplyDeleteYes you do have to appreciate them when you can. My youngest granddaughter is a senior in high school this year. Time sure flies by. So sweet of your girls to think about the squirrels in their yard. Ice cream always a treat for sure and those donuts looked scrumptious! Janice
ReplyDeleteThose girlies are just the cutest and sweetest! Love seeing the best time you have with them through all these years. PS: unbelievable how many acorns you get!! Lol

I am glad you are enjoying the time with them - they do grow up fast. They are so cute, and you can tell they are sisters. What a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet forever memories you’re making with your granddaughters. Your impact in their lives will be with them forever!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was touching they wanted ice cream at your Dad’s favorite place. Very sweet.
I doubt they will ever not want to spend time with you and Bob. They are just the sweetest young ladies!! Thanks for sharing the fun with us!! xo
ReplyDeleteYou always have such fun with your girls! Nice of them to bring acorns to the squirrels in their neighborhood!

ReplyDeleteOh such precious memories. Your grands are so cute and your home is a wonderful place to be just plain kids. No wonder they love to come over. Ice cream and donuts...what could be better?
