The Guys
It was special that they could make a stop to visit Abbey Jan in San Francisco before heading back to AZ.
Father’s Day
It was a great day to celebrate all the Father’s in the family, as well as celebrating Papa’s 73rd birthday.
4 Generations!!!
Babysitting Adventures with the Boys, June 10-16
This was the first time we had the boys for a week and man it was an adventure with such energenic kids!! We were exhausted by the time they went home… LOL
Bedroom ready 
Some of our adventures and activities included:
Treasure hunt, Sacramento zoo, Folsom zoo, swimming, bocce ball, crafts, Jelly Belly factory tour, Lego & magnet building, science center, face painting, make Father’s Day cards, throw rocks down the hills, tour model homes, play board games, slime Friday, pizza/movie night. I’m tired all over again just talking about it!!! 
Repeat, 2 Weeks Later…
Watching Charlie & Lizzy, June 30 – July 7
We take care of Charlie & Lizzy every summer for a week and we sure keep them busy. Hopefully the time they spend with us will be memories they will cherish as they get older.
I’ve geared back on the crafts because Charlie & Lizzy are getting older and seem to be loosing interest, but I always have tee shirts for them to paint.
Here are some fun things we did with the kids:
Scavenger hunt, bocce ball, Rockin Jump, swimming, bake cookies, throw rocks down the hills, went to the theater and saw Incredibles 2, board games, tour model homes, play at local parks, SkyZone, glow in the dark monster mini golf, pizza/movie night, Sacramento Zoo, kayaking in Tahoe.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention we had Rocky too!
This was the biggest hit with all the kids, to throw rocks down the hills to see who’s rock would go the farthest.
Time for our “sippy cups”!!!!!!
Cousin Reunion - July 28
Here we are, the 6 remaining first cousins. There were 8 of us but Doreen & Laura are now partying up in heaven. I’m the baby of the group at 63, and Gerry is the oldest at 86. There was only 1 guy out of 8 cousins… poor Tyke, he had to put up with all of us girls while growing up!!!
Tyke’s name is really Frank, but when he was a little kid he was all over the place causing havoc , so he got nicknamed “Tyke” and it stuck with the family for all these years! We love you Tyke!!
Here’s the gang with our significant others
This blast from the past photo was taken in 2003 at our 2nd cousion’s wedding. We sure have a good time when we get together!!
The party started at 1:00pm and the bar is “OPEN”. Our motto: “It’s 5pm somewhere in the world”… and it began.
Don’t know what in the hell Tyke is doing, but we’re having a great time!
First born and last born of the cousins.
