Now THIS is a Sparkler!

Truly, truly grandkids are part of the American Dream

Clara and Tracy surprised us with a visit for the Fourth of July. Actually, they hitched a ride with the "hired" hand (Grampy Steve) after he spent the week in Atlanta working around the house for Tracy. Meanwhile, Sarah and Rachel were at church camp in Florida while I kept Shadow, Daisy and Duke company at home.

Clara and Duke face off while waiting for Sarah and Rachel to get home from camp.

Stop, drop and.........LOVE!!!!!

Bubby love

Grampy love

Grammy love

Girly love

Mommy love

Missin' Daddy's love (We missed you too, Nate)

Time for more imprinting :)

The Grand Finale of the weekend included our Five Weekend Warriors who decided they all wanted to ski together on the busiest weekend of the year.........just becuz!

I could be wrong, but I think you're supposed to huddle in football, not water skiing

Notice the spectators watching from shore in awe! Notice Angela on the far right. She had only skiied twice before --- and the second time was just before this photo! (What a great sport!)

Living, and loving, the American Dream

The beginning of another epic:

For better or worse, you are stuck with us Clara........and after an entire week with you on vacation, it's obvious that we are stuck on you!

Mesmerized:

Enamored (but still able to multi-task):

In ageless awe:

Grampy gaze:

Still amazed:

As you can see, my focus of this vacation was different than previous family vacations, but we did find some interesting foliage:

. . . and some Easter eggs:

. . . and some awesome cooks:

. . . and some sun:

. . . and some sleep:

. . . and time for a 4-gen family photo:

. . . and lots of Euchre:

. . . and lots more lovin':

In case you don't know, Mommy's not the only one that loves you, Clara.

. . . and you aren't the only one crying that our week together is over :o(

And an infinite number of hugs to GREAT Grampa and Gramma for bringing us all together!!!

Aunt Sarah and Aunt Rachel with their two-week old niece Clara.

They had the privilege of a road trip to Atlanta with Big Bro/Uncle Bubby and Aunt Angela for an awesome siblings weekend.
