Grandkids

Our oldest grandchild, Mason, just spent a couple of days with us. Yesterday morning he went golfing with grandpa while I worked, and then I received this picture asking if they could bring home a pet.  It must be a boy thing - this fascination with snakes. This was a dead bull snake they found on the course.  And I hear that grandpa had to pull him away while reaching into the snake den where they saw baby bull snakes disappear.  He said he just wanted to touch them. Bull snakes do bite although they are not poisonous. But this whole thing just made me shudder!!

After taking Mason home late in the afternoon and spending a little time with his siblings Olivia and Jonah, we then went granddaughter Sophia's t-ball game.  Her league is for 4-6 year olds, and each team has a mix of boys and girls.  They play 3 innings where every kids hits once and no "outs" are called so the kids get to run the bases.  It was the last game of the season so they all got medals for participating.  Next year she moves up to "coach pitch" level where they learn to hit a pitched ball instead of a ball sitting on a tee, and she'll be on a team with just girls.  Little brother Jack just turned 3 and was more interested in the snacks that mom brought.  Sophia is 6 and missing both front teeth. Love that toothless grin!



Sometime next week we'll have Olivia for a couple of days of alone time, without her brothers.  And then it will be Jonah's turn to spend time with us.  I love all of my grandkids, but will admit that I'm not very good at entertaining little boys.  So thankfully grandpa can take them on snake adventures.
