Memorial Day with Abe

Joe and I wanted to have a little Memorial Day gathering on the farm and Scott volunteered his grill and himself to be our Chef for the event.

Thank you, Scott!

Brooke and I followed Abe on his second Farm Treasure Hunt.

He loved it!

Noah relaxed and was gearing up for his class trip to Pittsburgh.

 We are Family...

Abe was busy playing in his sandbox and new Pirate Water Ship.

A few of us went swimming...the heater makes ALL the difference!

And then...

Before Abe left, he made sure to say goodbye to my eight guinea pigs.  

~It was my favorite Memorial Day...ever~

Abe Visits the Farm

 It was Dog Grooming Day, which is also Family Day on the farm.

I decided to organize a Treasure Hunt for Abe...complete with a map!

 Abe spotted the fire helicopter.  He is totally in love with helicopters these days.

And a police helicopter...WOW!

Lunch time...I LOVE our round table!

And then...

 Back outside to sail the "pirate ships".

Fish feeding time...

 Goat feeding time...

Checking out the goat play area...

Feed the birds...

 Abe was very deliberate about spreading the seeds around the trees.

 A little game of Hide and Seek with Grandpa Joe.

Back inside for a bit...

Abe and Joe are the best of playmates.

Getting ready to go back home...

Joe and Abe tried to fly the kite one more time...not enough wind!

Next time...

~It was a day to cherish~

Abe's Neighborhood

The Cleveland Bicycle Police were taking a ride through Abe's neighborhood and my grandson was quite thrilled...

A Day With Abe

 Abe is learning all about caterpillars and butterflies in school.

He loves all things in the natural world.

Abe enjoys school so much, but loves the weekends as much as anyone!

Later...

Abe and his parents were invited to Kai's home for dinner and conversation...and playtime!

 Both families contributed to an Indian feast...

Abe and Kai played for hours...which made for some nice grown-up time for the parents!

~Friendship~

Abe's Mother's Day

 Abe gave his mother some beautiful earrings he made in school

That boy LOVES his mommy and I totally understand why!

Amy was my favorite mother this Mother's Day...

Abe accompanied his parents to the nursery to choose some flowers.

He is such a cutie and also a big helper when it comes to yard work.

~The best kind of Mother's Day~

After the Haircut

Abe enjoys his haircuts much more these days...Lollipops are a great treat after he's done!

~Our happy boy~
