Family Fun ..

We have been spoiled the last two weekends with visits from Sons #1 and #2 along with our grandkids. It's been fun enjoying the sunshine and the warm temperatures here in God's country ~ we enjoy sitting outside and catching up on life's ups and downs.  We even ventured out to the lake for some fishing.  It's a good thing it's called fishing and not "catching" ~ between the 5 of us we came up with one tiny little fish that our granddaughter reeled in for Papa.  Glad we had other plans for dinner ...

After fishing we cruised on down the road to the park where we found this interesting teeter totter shaped like an airplane.

Siesta Time

Awww ~ such beauty here in God's Country!  Here are pictures of the Little Colorado River as it meanders through northeastern Arizona.  It is a beautiful little babbling brook ~ looks like a perfect picnic place to me.  Don't ya think?

 

Mom spends her summers in this area and this cute little outhouse has it right . . . DANGER BEAR AREA.  She has experienced several bears up close and personal over the years.  The first encounter we all remember well ...  after a trip to the local market she was bringing the groceries into the cabin, one bag in each arm.  She heard a snorting sound by the back door and she turned around to find a bear with it's nose at the screen door.  She slammed the door closed with her foot and Mr. Bear looked up at her casually and then moseyed down the porch steps and off into the forest.  Thank the Good Lord for that.  I guess he wasn't hungry at the time ...

My front porch reminder . . .

It's a sure sign of summer if the chair gets up when you do.
