It's Always Fun When Grandpa Comes

My Dad came for a quick visit last weekend.  It was so good to see him!  We went out to Vassar Meadows on Saturday to do a little shooting, eating, and having fun. 


Grandpa brought Anne a couple of early birthday presents.  A pink .22, some pink "ears", and Nana sent her a pink jacket.  She got some private shooting lessons from Grandpa and did great.  Doesn't she look so grown up?

Annie was kind enough to let the other girls have a try with her new gun.

Stephen didn't care to try out the pink rifle.  He wanted to try using the scope instead.

We brought lots of food with us, including marshmallows for roasting. 




There were millions of lady bugs hiding out.  This just shows one little clump of them.  There were bunches like this all over the place!

  It was pretty cloudy and even rained a time or two.  It was pretty exciting when the sun would come out!

We all had such a fun time.  Grandpa took lots of great pictures.  Thanks for sharing these Dad!

Stuart says that guns shouldn't be pink.
LOVE the pictures of the kids! They're amazing!

What a fun day!! I love, love, love that Anne has a pink gun. I always told Ben the only way he would get me to carry one was if it was pink. Those are some crazy lady bugs, I have never seen that many together in one spot.

It made me a little weepy to see all of you shooting and roasting marshmallows. I can't believe how much I miss seeing you! Can't wait for Fourth of July!!!!
