SUMMER 2010 |
||||||||||||||||||||||
So far our summer has been a full and fun one!
Then there was our annual Gray PEAR family reunion held at the end of July. I was very busy beforehand getting ready for it. I made buttons for everyone to wear, tote bags to give out as prizes and a pinata for the kids to break. The theme for this year was Prickly PEAR Picnic and Fiesta. I made a logo for the buttons, tote bags and also for ironing onto shirts to wear at the reunion. The pinata was a prickly pear complete with a sombrero. At the reunion itself I offered face painting for the kids.
Once we picked up Kathy and Sierra they joined us for a night of camping and the next day we all drove to the reunion. On the way we stopped to enjoy the scenery, view and uniqueness of the Colorado National Monument state park and then the absolutely gorgeous landscape on the drive to Naturita. Robert has been working very hard on the play structure this summer. Me too (although not as hard as he has). I have been doing a lot of painting to help out. We both were anxious to get it as finished as possible for a party we had on August 7th. Everyone enjoyed seeing how great it turned out. There are still a few things left to do on it. Robert wants to add shutters to windows, a rope net to both sides of Sierra is getting so big. She now sits up, is showing the first signs of crawling, makes dada and mama sounds and laughs and laughs. She loves watching Rylan and Aubrey play. She is now six months old! We continue to enjoy having her, Rylan and Aubrey so close and love how often we see them as well as Kathy and Tim. There is always another adventure, another experience, anotehr new event to relish as we turn each corner of our lives. |
