The Silence Is Deafening

We had Katri and the grandkids here for a week and it's amazing how sedate and quiet our lifestyle is the other 51 weeks!!  It's always an adjustment to get used to the calm after the little busy bees have left.   Everyone made the most of each day, even little Nikolai who had his first tractor experience and loved every minute.  He is the happiest of babies with a smile for everyone, even strangers.  I am guilty of being that awful slobbery grandma all grandkids complain of but thankfully, Nikolai, is still too young to be turned off.  

 Eliah was captivated by the goldfish in our pond and both he and Ava enjoyed feeding them and then seeing how tame they were to even swim near their hands.  

We spent some fun time at the beaches looking for shells and climbing rocks. 

Up at Twin Lakes we had a couple fun afternoons at the little beach and a chance to dig in the sand.
