Photos from the week-end
A great time was had by all on Saturday night when all four of the cousins slept on a pallet at JoJo’s house…
We woke up Sunday morning and went to the zoo to ride the new carousel before it got ungodly-sticky-hot…
We were wilting when we got back to Sonnystone, so into the pool we splashed… Samantha didn’t have a swimsuit, but we put her in anyway, because she’s a Big Girl, too…
The Jrs. brought over a crockpot of roast beef and taters, a watermelon jicama salad, and extra melon…mmm…
Camp started in earnest this morning and I’ve pretty much worn the kids out! The heat is all-July and they are chewed by chiggers, but we’re having a blast. Hope you are, too!

Pre-Camp
Sorry for the absence…I know you’ve been waiting with bated breath…
As we prepared for the arrival of 3/4 of the Jose’ fam, we stayed busy working in the Garden , and doing the Gettin’ Ready Rag…
Emma, Eliza, and Eric arrived Wednesday evening and we are having a swinging time…

Eric is leaving this morning, and Camp Officially starts on Monday. The New York Girls will be here a couple of weeks, then their mom will pick them up and stay a couple of days.
I’ll be sharing the fun!

Sadly, I did not take any photos of the Ceili, only videos, and I would Love to share them with you. Alas, wordpress is not being co-operative. If I figure out how to upload them, I will post them. All of the dancers were wonderful, especially Emma and Eliza. So much excitement! Word to my daughter, send me some pictures!
We’re back at Sonnystone, catching up with the garden and putting up the pool. The New York Family is scheduling a July visit—hey, that’s just a couple of weeks! Plans for Camp Sonnystone are underway. Being with each family is wonderful, but getting All of Us Together is Superlative..! See you soon!

Adventures with with O & S ….
We went to the zoo to celebrate Olivia’s first day of summer vacation…
O is more excited than she looks
Olivia 9, Samantha 2
Afterward, we came back to Sonnystone and played…It’s nice to have PawPaw around to play clue and help with fairy wings…
Samantha spent a while working on her flying…
Missing the essential Pixie Dust, she didn’t quite lift off, but she persisted…I like that in a person…

Another Week-end Wrapped Up
We arrived back at Sonnystone early afternoon Thursday. You can read about our trip at My Travel Blog. Wink had traveled very well, (even alerting us to bear outside the camper one night!) but was glad to get back to his old box, as were we.
Saturday was Olivia’s Dance Recital (as well as the Preakness, which did not turn out well, but I don’t wanna talk about it). She has really improved and this year was her best. In fact, the whole (half) of the recital that I watched was better than the last few. It’s tough to get dancing pictures from the cheap seats without blur, but here’s my best of her best…

Didn’t I warn you about what happens when we go off-grid? While we were in the Smokies, the news cycle was Spinning, and when I came out of the no-news-zone it took several hours of reading to catch up with the chaos. I’m glad I missed it in real time. Reading it all summed up was anxiety-producing enough… Of course, those of you who watch faux news 24/7 don’t have any idea what I’m talking about…
Busy week ahead. The garden is growing strong. Check out the photos at My Garden Blog. Until we meet again…
Peace
