Playing Chinese Checkers, more or less
It was fun to have our son and their three boys out over the weekend, although he had wrenched his back the day before, so I'm sure this wasn't his most favorite trip to the country. We were thrilled to see them and enjoyed every minute they were here.

Wait a minute...

The Expedition To The Woods:
Lots of vertical, some horizontal, a few diagonal

What's this big mound? Is it an Indian burial mound?
Nothing that exciting. It's just an uprooted tree.
(which actually would have been quite exciting if you had been standing nearby when it happened)

Okay, this picture is an optical illusion for me. Anyone else?
It looks one way the first time I look at it, then my mind changes it to another.
Every Time.

And this looks like nothing but a fallen birch with its curled bark,
but I thought it was pretty.

Game's Over
There was also the trip to see the Chetek Fire Department fire training burn, not to mention the beautiful (albeit dead) wild turkey along the way, but that's for another blog post. I don't want y'all to be overwhelmed. :-)

Such sweet boys.
Precious memories with such cute grandsons. My grandkids would love to romp around in the woods finding treasures, your boys are very lucky to be able to enjoy the woods.
Looks like you had a wonderful visit! Such great memories you are creating for one another!
Family is precious and it looks like you captured memories to last forever. Great pics.
There is absolutely nothing better than time with our grandchildren. Love that optical illusion.

Fun romp in the woods. Chinese checkers - now that takes me back to my childhood. I bet your grandsons will always remember the fun times with you. Nice looking boys.
Your grandsons are cute! Love the pictures of the walk through the woods with them! Glad you had a fun visit. Enjoy your day!
Your grandsons are so cute - looks like they had a great time with grandpa there. Great photos!

Enjoy your day!

PS Did you get all those ingredients for the bread from like a health food store or a regular grocery store? lol I'm still on the bread. sandie
Looks like you had an awesome weekend!
Fun post! I liked the adventure in the woods. Did you have to do a wood tick check? We went exploring Friday, Sam ended up with one stuck behind his head. Yuck!
How fun for you! Exploring the woods can lead to all sorts of stories and adventures. Love the pics of the Chinese checkers too, especially the upside down one. Grandparents ROCK!
Oh, what fun to have them over and to spend the weekend having adventures!!! :)
What beautiful boys, Judy, and so smart, too! Chinese checkers, huh? The ticks are out here in droves. We took the kids fishing and I got a tick bite. So yes, check them for ticks!
What fun to get out on the land with the boys! Nothing better...except maybe playing board games! ♥♥♥
How fun!! I know you and Kevin loved every minute of having them there! Those boys are adorable!!
Great pictures!!! Looks like you and Kevin had a great weekend with the grandchildren. I know you love the time with them. I watch Daisy everyday while her parents work....I cherish the time I have with her, it's hard to believe that she'll be 5 in May.
One of my favorite mememories of childhood is wandering and exploring in the woods with my Grandpa. He was a nature man and knew all sorts of things and knew where to find all sorts of things to check out. He once led us to a duck nest filled with eggs that he had found. Looks like a wonderful visit!
Oh Judy, they are the most beautiful boys! What a fantastic time y'all had together! So glad y'all got to have some time and make some memories. My favorite picture is the upside down one!
Oh my goodness this looks just like when we visit my parents' house! The kids climb the hill in the leaves and trees. They really feel like they are on some kind of adventure. But I can still see them from the kitchen window! Love your pics!
I hope to be a grandmother one of these years. For now, I spoil my great-niece something awful. :)
Your kiddos are just adorable. Precious memories you're making.
Sounds like a fun and busy time; have you recovered yet? Hopefully, you've had time to sit with a good book......
