Today I had Annie, her sister GiGi and Sailor come to the pool for a swim. I was happy to have some company since I am missing my angels. coincidentally I discover the girls are all in swim class together, so they were very happy to practice before tomorrow's class.
Miss Judy(Sailor's Gma) gave out cookies
, since the girls had worked up quite an appetite
Miss laura (Annie&GiGi's Mom) gave a countdown for the jump contest.
BTW, we all miss Emma, Paige and Sophia!
Emma had her 2nd Show. She is getting very good at this! She received a First in the Obstacle Course(I'm sure they have another name for it in the Horse World), but I thought it was the more complicated of the events.
Paige Graduated and she was so proud! Ms Glenda was also very proud of all of her accomplishments.
The Big Girls (Morgo and Kristine) arrived today and we went straight to the beach. Paige rec'd the first offical "buried in the sand" this summer since the other girls were in school. Sophia declined to go because she was overcome with shyness...which will probably last a day!
Dick's youngest grandchild. Does she look like her Daddy? I''ll cast my vote after I see her in person, which I hope will be soon.
Dick arrived for the Memorial Day Weekend. We went to a Daytona Beach Baseball Game. My Friend Judy and her Grand-daughter Sailor got up on the Dugout to Dance to the "YMCA" with the mascot Cubby.
The Season ended for Paige on Friday. Here she is with Coach Melissa receiving her trophy. They celebrated at Frosty King(one of the parents owns) with Hot Dogs and Ice Cream.
I went to see Tyler play lacrosse and afterwards we went to the Noodle Company. What did he order? The same thing when he was 5.....Mac&Cheese, somethings never change, but Tyler is getting close to 6 ft tall.
James Monroe's house and Gardens in Charlottesville
.
Montpelier, home of James Madison. The DuPont Family owned it, but it was given to the National Fund, and is in the process of being restored. The restoration should be finished in September 2008. I would like to go back and take the girls, the countryside is beautiful even on a cloudy day.
We gathered at Michie Tavern for some Lunch. Both of Barbara's children
Greg & Christine where there with their families.
Peyton is getting so tall, she is now seven, we don't see her as much since she moved to Chicago , but maybe her Mom will work for MM some day and they will live in FL.
Eden has had enough touring , she elects to nap on grandfather John's shoulder.
Barbara enjoying the Birthday Festivities in Charlottesville
This is the Recipe that was handed down to me from Myrtle Fissell (Greg & Melissa's Grandmother)
Melissa is now trying to convince Sophia that this is what she wants for her Birthday, so far Sophie is sticking with Hello Kitty.
What do we like to do in Florida after a Cold Dip in the Pool? We love to have a Hot Cocoa of course!
Emma decided she would be a photograher like her Dad at the games. She told us how to pose.
