I had to work this Saturday and suggested that since Den could not spend from opening until 5pm with the kids at the pool, that he take them to the local 'truck touch' where all the public works vehicles were being set out for people to interact with. The kids had a good time and it occupied several hours for Den. Then it was off to the pool. Dinner with friends that night was at a habachi place that did NOT go over well for the kids. Josie watched as a nearby table had their food prepared and screamed before the chef got to our table. Eli, who was with us ran around the corner so as not to be near the flames.
After dinner, the kids went out and played in a sand volleyball pit, which was great after they had new sheets on and fresh baths. But it did ocupy them for a while so the adults could talk. Running around catching fireflies from probably the highlight of the night. In pat because our kids are usually in bed by the time they come out. I think Eddie is ready to plants some beans, don't you think?
Speaking of which, our garden is doing well. We've harvested lots of green beans, already have a cucumber to pick, lots of tomatos and green pappers coming in and will be dtrying potatos for the first time this year. Somehow we are still getting strawberries. The kids usually enjoy helping to harvest things, but not not after spending 5 hours at the pool today.

You're dressing our niece and nephew in sheets? That's awfully Southern of you.
K. grew potatoes last year. Easy and good -- don't know why we didn't do it again this year.
Fireflies and growing gardens are such miracles. I'm still fascinated by both. Thankful you're providing those experiences for the kids. Love G'mom J
