When I was first married dh and I wanted to be at our parent's homes, I was not as fortunate to have our children live nearby as all of ours moved so far away. But I do treasure the times we are together.<br />This looks like a great place to visit, I especially would love the water floats!<br />the photo of you is so lovely!<br />Sounds like your summer is off to a great start, enjoy! enjoy!<br />Blessings,<br /> Sue<br />Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843762646877115013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-53774161784800813282014-06-09T12:30:34.686-04:002014-06-09T12:30:34.686-04:00Looks like fun!

Such sweet pictures...and I <i>love</i> the one of you, Deanna! <br /><br />We have thought that it would be lovely to live for six months in Maine near Ryan and Sarah and the faraway grands (during the warm months, of course) and then in Maryland near Kristin and Brian and the nearby grands. Of course, who knows where Kati and Bekah will be when they marry and have their own families! But it's a great dream!Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-62060718699479765262014-06-09T11:05:04.730-04:002014-06-09T11:05:04.730-04:00What a fun day!

Soooo cute!<br /><br />My paternal grandmother made her rounds in her later years spending several weeks at a time with each of her five children. She babysat for my cousins in Maryland in the summers because their mother worked so it was a win-win arrangement. She also made homemade donuts. Need I say more? <br /><br />Keep having fun, Rabes!
