Kim, Jakob, Topher, and I drove to Nashville on Thursday to pick up Jennifer, Sarah, and Claire. Anyone out there know why the Nashville airport has the initials BNA? We even asked a couple of people working there and they didn't know! They had a good flight and the drive back to Jasper was enjoyable. We stopped for food at a Cracker Barrel (yum). On Friday we visited with Mother and Daddy and the children showed off their wheel skills. Jakob has a rip stick, which is basically a two wheeled skateboard, Topher has a scooter, and Sarah is working on two wheel biking. Claire stayed on the porch with Mamaw and Papaw to watch the show. Everyone wears pads and Sarah has a helmet so they were all safe.
Later in the day we went swimming! I got in with the grandchildren while Jennifer and Kim stayed on the deck and watched. It was the first swim of the season and we stayed for almost an hour. It was very refreshing but time to get out when little chins started to quiver. The boys are excellent swimmers and the girls were very brave in their floats. Both boys are tall enough that they can touch bottom with no problems. The girls giggled when they would dive underneath them. Buck grilled chicken for supper and the day was labeled a good one.
School is out ~ hope you are all well ~ enjoy the summer. More later. . . .
