Swimming Fun
I was invited to accompany the not-so Little People and their mother
to visit with Uncle Walter and Aunt B. And to swim in their pool.
Look at all the fun 'floats.'
The big float was the most popular as someone was always falling into the water!
Then, time for a snack.
Checking the drain, early in the morning.
No frogs.
Looking for frogs in the pond.
Uncle Walter took us geocaching at a Stark County park.
We walked along the bike path that follows the Ohio and Erie Canalway.
"Don't follow me into the woods... there's poison ivy," said Uncle Walter.
The first 'find.'
Uncle Walter signed the log book. The children examined all the treasures.
The Tuscarawas River was used to fill/empty the canal.
Uncle Walter lost his glasses on this find...
Noah's sharp eyes - and the fact that he disregarded the warning about poison ivy - found this cache.
We had walked and walked along the bike path... fortunately, SOMEone was carrying a big bottle of water.
The ice cream shop was closer than Mom's car; we had Mom's phone and she was with Little Miss El back at the car. All we could do was walk ALL THE WAY BACK to the car, then DRIVE to the ice-cream shop.
Sitting in the cool car, enjoying cookie dough ice cream.
Reading 'Captain Underpants' and 'Catching Fire.'
Later, we relaxed by the pool.
Aunt B. picked some roses so we could enjoy the aromas. Little Miss El 'decorated' Mom with the roses.
Pretty.
Thank you, thank you Uncle Walter and Aunt B. for a fun time!
