Grandkids Are the Greatest






August has been an exciting time for Glenda and me. We got to see all of our kids early in the month. It was definitely a busy weekend, but it was soooooo enjoyable. We even got to go to the Oregon Zoo with Andy and Christy. Of course Gracie, Benjamin, and Zoey made our day. Christy finally linked up with us at the zoo after being lost in Africa. After passing the fruit bats three times, she knew she was going batty. We are so thankful for cell phones that helped us connect, and I am glad she didn't give up and just leave. After a full day at the zoo and riding the train, Andy and the grandkids left for Salem; and Glenda and I had a delicious dinner with Tobin, Christy, and Tobin's folks (Marty and Darrol). Then on Sunday morning all of us got together at Andy and Ruth's home for a relaxed brunch. We are so thankful for our grandkids because they really keep us young. Then at the end of the month we stayed with the DeBackers so that we could help paint at AJ and Maryanne's new home. We also cut down blackberry vines and bushes. On Sunday after church Glenda and I took Gracie, Benjamin, and Zoey to the fair. We met AJ, Maryanne, Porter, and the DeBackers there. Benjamin and Zoey got close up and personal with a python.
