Grandpa Morgan Playing

Extracted from a movie so the quality isn't great but it's one of the few photos I remember of my grandfather actually playing with me. He has his hand on Barney and you can see Fred Flintstone. The flapper doll was also a birthday present. 1962
 

Gammy Camp

Kids are headed to the pool. Then they sat for the required group shot. We spent our last day at the pool before school schedules get in the way.

A few jumps and Adam's first leap off the diving board, proving he can swim to shore.

 

Zinnia Row

The beautiful stretch of zinnias next to Nalli s back in full glory. Love it!

 

Heat Hours

I have heard of summer hours and winter hours but this is the first time I've seen heat hours. Appropriate as we go into another scorcher.
 

Visible Humidity

Visualization of humidity.

 

Joyous Summer Fun

Another day of summer fun before school starts.
 

Exploring Johnson County History

Lowell and Vala enjoyed Kidscape at Johnson County Museum, including touring in a 1957 Chevy.

We also took advantage of the museum itself to take a carnival photo.

 

All Spiffed Up

Happy birthday to Stacy, on August 1. As I recall she was dressed for a school program here. 1985

Lounging in the Garden

Colin made himself comfortable at Cafe Equinox.

 

Artist at Work

Lowell painted a dog at Ceramic Cafe. We will see how it looks when it is fired.
 

Grins and Giggles

These kids – all three of them – are fun.

 

Birthday Celebrations

We celebrated Stacy's and Matt's birthdays and Colin's half birthday. It required a lot of candles.
 

Slime Extraordinaire

I took Vala to Rainbow Slide as her birthday experience. It was amazing. She made her own slime, walked in it and stretched it in a rainbow of colors. Even basketball with slime balls.

 

Old Friends

A few of us from the old slumber party crew gathered for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. And, happy surprise, it was National Cheesecake Day and we got cheesecake at half price.
 

A New Whatchamacallit

Dad is demonstrating some newfangled thing to Susie and Steve, apparently at night.
