Last week we were blessed to have two of our youngest granddaughters with us. They spent the week going to Vacation Bible School at our oldest daughter's church. It was a cowboy theme and on the last day they got to ride horses.

Several days we also had our oldest grandaughter Bailey here too, as she was working in VBS, and likes to spend time with her cousins.

We took them out to lunch or dinner a lot...but I did cook a lot too. We went to the movies twice, and took them swimming several times. And then mid week we also had one of our grandsons, Caleb here too, and he also helped at VBS. He gave us a scare of Friday when a horse stepped on his foot and broke his little toe and bruised his foot. He is doing ok now though. (:>)

Sunday they did the VBS program and gave out some awards, and they showed us a video of everything that went on all week...and also told us of the 26 kids that accepted Jesus into their hearts during the week. Our granddaughters were among that group, and we were so excited to find that out!

What a joy to see Christ at work, drawing children to Himself. We are so thankful for VBS and for all of the workers who played a part in their professions of faith.

The weather has been hot and humid, so they really enjoyed the time they spent in the pool and also in the cool movie theater. A couple of times they even laid down and rested and watched TV.

But the girls did have to suffer through the heat as they played softball two evenings. But they did a good job none the less. And we enjoyed watching them play. Ironically, the name of their team is..."HEAT".

I am posting some pictures of our week with the kids. This post will help us remember the fun times we had with them. They are really growing up and before we know it they will be too old to go to VBS. But hopefully they will still like to come and stay at Grandma's.

Since we were making memories last week, I am using this post for my Wednesday's Walk Down Memory Lane today. If you would like to join in the fun with your special memories just click the button and link up with Jenilee. She will tell you how to do it.

Summertime Fun!


Summertime is a time for fun
When the grandkids come to stay

Sometimes we just sit around
But most the time we play

Movies, popcorn, swimming and more
And they like to go with me to the store

We pick up the foods that they like to eat
And that always includes something sweet!

Grandma has to cook for them too…
That’s just something grandmas do

Fruit smoothies is something that we make
Or Grandpa plays “soda jerk” and makes them a shake!

He gives them a ride in his convertible car
And sometimes they go pretty far

But most of the time they just take a spin around town
Music blaring with the top down

We play pool and board games too
We find plenty of stuff to do

It sure is hot out there today
So I think we’ll just stay inside to play

Maybe a game of Farkel or cards
Since it’s too hot to play in the yards

Whatever we do it sure is fun
To have these kiddos one by one

One day they won’t want to come stay
Or to visit Grandma for summertime play

So these moments I’ll treasure one by one
Making memories of our summertime fun!
