One of the things Gwyn wanted to do was to have a campfire and roast marshmallows! So that's exactly what we did after an afternoon of painting and swinging!
It was a beautiful evening out!! I made Gwyn change out of her good leggings and put on an old pair just in case!!
And we had to put the sweatshirts on as it got cooler and cooler!
This girl was beyond happy to eat roasted marshmallows!!
Her snack that evening was the strawberry bars that we made a special trip BACK to the store to get after the museum so they wouldn't melt! Note her little dinosaur beside her - it had to go everywhere with her!
Saturday morning we headed into Dick and Jane's pond in town for a fishing expedition! It's pretty darn easy to catch fish out of this pond but they were being pretty tricky that morning! Glenn would no sooner cast in then a fish would get on but Gwyn would try to reel it in and it would get caught in the grass and get off! Her goal was to catch 5 fish! Pretty ambitious for a 6 year old!
I can't tell you HOW MANY fish got on and then off before she could get them in! But she finally settled on 4 fish so we could leave!
I asked Gwyn what she wanted for dinner that night and of course she said her favorite that I make - cheeseburger soup! So that's what we made! There's not a lot she can help with on that particular recipe but she could pour the cheese in at the end!! And when we ate it, she made sure to tell Papa that she helped a LOT on making the soup!!
An evening ride in the razor is always fun!
Gwyn enjoyed the hot tub a couple of times, in between the lightning and the rain, and I played a LOT of cards with her - Go Fish and Crazy Eights! Won't be long before she'll be playing the card games the older kids play!
She slept on the floor in our room (on a mattress of course!) and I think enjoyed sleeping with the nice cool air coming in - she usually has NO covers on at her house and I found her all cuddled up with a blanket AND a bedspread on when I would come into bed later!
An awesome time with her - she's such a blessing in our lives!
