I was doing gardening and found a wee bird's nest on the ground. I imagine a hummingbird or red-eyed vireo. It's so small.
They left paw prints. Butch Raccoon for sure!
Dinner was fun. Sausages in a bun, corn from down the road, birthday cake! Caitlin had brought souvenirs from her trip. Grampa was given a Lithuanian cap.
I gave Caitlin her birthday present, even though her birthday isn't until Aug. 16th. You never know what they will be up to next month.
Aster was given a few items to celebrate summer. Another joke, 'beer and chips' is what Grampa always says we used to give the grandies.
Saturday morning the kids went swimming! Back home, we were told it was a great time swimming. Aster drove there!
Then it was time to go home. But first, the family made a visit to the candy store, and a visit to Stewart Park for old times sake. Grampa used to take the grandies there during Gramma Camp.
They even did a number on Emily and her Lobelia. I replanted it. Sigh.
The kids came over for a sleepover Friday, July 24. Aster plugged in the car. Aster has just begun in-car driver's ed! The in-class sessions are finis.
We have jokes. The year Jordan turned 15, I made a mistake and thought he was 16. Since then we always add a year to the birthday.

It is tiger lily season. The hummingbirds adore it.
Aster did a photo reprise!
Jordan is doing well, working in a grocery store stocking shelves. He is in heaven. He's quite the organiser.

Stewart Park: one of Lanark’s seven wonders — supposedly.
This sounds like the most perfect weekend! A fun family celebration with a lot of joy -- and the best part, the family itself. Yes, always smart to celebrate when you can. Time flies so quickly and schedules get so crazy. Big smiles here!
Perfect weekend with the family! The little nest is so cute, I like that you placed it back up.
It sounds like a good weekend.
Oh that does look like a hummingbird nest, how cute. Looks like you had a good time with the family visit.
A wonderful birthday celebration Jenn. Happy Birthday Caitlin! Lovely to get the family together, makes it even more special with Caitlin's birthday. Love the beer and chips tradition, what a hoot to give it to the grandies. You have a lovely family Jenn and I enjoyed the video very much. Always enjoy the photos too of course :) Naughty Butch but finding the nest, wonderful!
When you said 'family visit' my first thought was of Fred and his family, but you meant your real family!
You're feeling well enough to enjoy yourself again. That's good to see. -Kate
The nest is cute. Happy Birthday to Caitlin! Great photos of the family. Take care, enjoy your day and the new week ahead.
What a wonderful visit! That tiny nest is so adorable. Probably abandoned now.
My son's called this weekend as well as one of the grands, so that was good.
Too hot here to do much outside!
Fun times! I take it your tooth is healed?
I miss those grandchildren visits. Mine are all in their 20s and 30s now, and we don't see much of them as they are scattered across the country.
Yes, it is, thank for asking!
