Meanwhile, Back At The Ranch. . .

It certainly has been busy around here! We've had excellent, home-made meals every night for dinner, Avery got to go to the zoo on Tuesday, and she even got to show grandma Linda how she jumps off the edge of the pool and gets her face underwater when she's at swim lessons. Meanwhile, grandpa Earl has a new passion: A new power washer (Devon's father's day gift). He even gave him the extra gift of starting on the deck with the power sprayer -- it was amazing what came off. EWWWWW! And all the while they've been maneuvering around my picture pile (see previous post).

Beep beep -- outta the way! We have animals to see!

Petting the sheep in the "farm" area of the zoo

and the goatsriding the horse -- hey, it's wooden!! I want to go to the fair where the horses are real!
Can you believe he cleaned all of this deck on his knees with a toothbrush?!?! Just kidding.
The wild neighborhood -- the pretty poppies
and the 6-foot thistles!Always on the move -- this time the TV/entertainment center is moving to the playroom. It just takes us awhile to get all the stuff from one room to th other, it seems (weekend to weekend).
Avery can't help but lie down and snuggle with Jordan in her new little bed (as opposed to Avery's BIG bed, of course).
