Swimming and Papa Stick's House

On Wednesday Jennings, Abby, and I ended our last full day with Avery with a few relaxing but fun activities. In the morning it was raining so we opted to go see Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer. Everyone enjoyed the movie and by the time it was over it was starting to get a bit more sunny outside.

After rest time the sun was out in full force so we were ready to take a plunge into the pool. There was lots of diving board jumping, hot tub posing, swimming, and laughter.

We followed up pool time with a trip out to Papa Stick's house for dinner and country fun. To clarify, Papa Stick is my Dad, and Avery's grandfather. She calls him Papa Stick...but that is a story for another time and place as it has no relevance to this blog! The kids had fun chasing chickens, petting the horses, hunting for treasures in the yard, watching ants, and racing Papa Stick. Abby was confident she would beat him based on the fact that she took him to be an old, slow, man...but...alas...she lost.

Here are some pics from the evening:

It was a fabulously fun evening!
