I didn't think it was going to work out for Gwyn to come down this summer as the Keppys just had SO much going on! BUT IT HAPPENED!!
Jessi, Kenzie, Jill and Aleah were heading out on a cruise last weekend - and Glenn had planned a "boys trip" to go camping and ATVing with the son in laws and grandsons! (That didn't turn out so well as only Gary ended up going!! Not sure what happened with Brad and Kylan but Robby wasn't feeling well so that took him and Parker out of the mix and of course Evan was still in Africa!)
But since Gary was coming down, I told him to bring Gwyn and the dog Kona down to stay with me and it worked out perfectly!!! Gwyn is an absolute gem to be around and we have so much fun together!
Gary dropped her off EARLY on Friday morning and him and Glenn headed out to Sargents to camp! Gwyn and I headed over to Wild Horse - she had her smoothie and I had my coffee - yum!
Kona did pretty darn good most of the time - of course she LOVES to explore and we've had such a bear presence in the subdivision lately that I was worried she would run off and try to make friends with a bear - ha! We did put the leash on her when we walked her but otherwise she just ran around when we were outside playing!
We played LOTS of games and cards - it's not quite as much fun with just the two of us but we make it work!
It was sad to think Gwyn couldn't swing any more as the swing is not only broke, but she's just too tall for it now - but it's still fun to walk down by the firepit!
I fixed her favorite for dinner on Friday night - cheeseburger soup!
Since it was kind of cloudly on Saturday morning, we headed out early to play clicker ball! I'm sure that's not the name for it but we play indiviually, clicking the apparatus which shoots the ball up in the air and we try to catch it in the cup - harder than what it looks!!! Our goal is to see how many times we can consecutively catch it - well Gwyn certainly showed me up that day - 85 catches in a row - WOW!!!!
I also taught Gwyn how to play Upwords, one of my favorite games!! She did pretty darn well for only being 11 years old!! But I forgot to take a pic!
That evening we had fresh strawberries over vanilla bean ice cream - SO GOOD!
Saturday we headed into town late morning - stopped and saw Jaime at Safeway and got a few things and then stopped at Goodwill but didn't find anything! And then we were off to the show "Moana" at our local theater! We enjoyed the movie along with popcorn and not so good lemonade!
We stopped and got a pizza from Papa Murphys to cook that evening! More outside games and cards and before we knew it, it was bedtime!
Sunday morning after breakfast, we split a special coffee - yes, this girl drinks coffee just like her mom!
Gary and Glenn got home around noon, just as we were starting lunch! I sent some cheeseburger soup home with Gwyn and of course Kona was REALLY excited to go home!! Such a fun time with our youngest granddaughter!!
