THE LAST WORD OF SUMMER. . .

In our adventures this summer, we discovered a scrapbook store in a little cottage in the country. It was adorable inside and out. But, this place had a couple of extra perks--like a swing and lots of animals. The kids loved going there. Cynjyn and Kres enjoyed the swing.

Then they discovered the miniature donkeys. Here's a new-born, as cute as can be!


Not only is the baby adorable, but his spotted mama is kind of unusual, too!



Here's a potrait of the little guy (or girl)? Adorable




Well--back to the family reunion. Kres has a look of terror on his face because Taz liked to put him on the little cart and speed down the entire, empty gathering hall. The face tells the story!





This all took place before other people arrived. Needless to say, we put it away before the other kids could discover the fun! The hall was then filled with tables and chairs.






Here we have some adults relaxing in the kitchen, while . . . .








Kresimir and Cynjyn did the dishes!!







and Trampis tried to beat Randy at a game of ping pong in the game room!










During the summer, Kim and Beckham really bonded! They had a true love for one-another!









Well, you know how mixed up I always am--these kittens were playing under the porch at the scrapbook store.











Taz, Beckham and Kres liked to snuggle in the big chair under the quilt Taz made for himself.












It amazes me how well these two can do puzzles. All of Kim's kids are good at puzzles, and it seems Kres has inherited the talent, too. Here they tackle a floor-sized dinasaur puzzle. I don't think the other grandkids enjoy them quite as much!













Kres looked quite satisfied with the whole summer!














I accidently loaded this picture--don't ask me how! But, what's cuter than a little boy contemplating a mud puddle?

Those mini-donkeys are very cute--but donkeys in general are so noisy that i don't think I would like them as pets!

Wow, you got a lot of cute pictures I hadn't seen. Now I want copies of them. Very cute!

It's the rooster that was so loud and scared Kres to death. But, the donkeys are definitely loud too--but seriously so cute!

I am glad I am now considered as an adult (that's what you called me in one of the pictures). Thanks for putting it on.
