Bella -- enjoying the air conditioning.
(3 yo Great Pyrenees)
Cherub 1, Cherub 4, and Cherub 2 looking on when
Cherub 5 caught ANOTHER little Bluegill.
Cherub 6 getting ready to jump back into the cove from the dock. Everyone had a grand time taking turns on the Pirate Ship --
a little pedal-boat that belongs to my parents.
The children took it all over the cove to see ducks,
white blue and gray Herons, fish, turtles,
interesting plants, and also just for fun !!
We had a grand time on our mini-vacation to Lake Oconee.
THANK YOU DUMMA & GRANMICKEY FOR INVITING US !!
And MORE yellow squash, and a big ole' zucchini ---
Oh - and the rest of the greenbeans waiting to be cut and cleaned, then canned ---
And finally, a whole lot of Burpless Cucumbers (being picked up this afternoon by a friend, to make lots of pickles.)
Next came the Family Vote --- the table must be painted --- what color shall we paint it ??
Begin drawing game boards on the top of the
table in pencil. Be sure to use a ruler and a level.
Our children's favorites are checkers, chess,
and Othello, along with TicTacToe.
Use acrylic paint to fill in the game boards.
Recommendation: Make them colorful.
Finish painting gameboards and allow to dry.
Paint the base of the table with latex paint and allow to dry.
Final step: coat the whole table top with 2 coats
of heavy-duty sealer.
TA DA !!
A game table for 6 Cherubs ....
