well Carin called and asked if we wanted company the weekend of September 18th, of course, we always love company. So she and Dylan arrived mid-morning Saturday for an overnight visit and fun with Grammie and Papa. But, as always, Carin had a plan ... she wanted to introduce Dylan to "The Slab", and can we find her knee-board to take along?
Lunch was eaten, clothes changed, pack the truck and off we go to Kingsland and "The Slab". It was a beautiful afternoon and we expected many to take advantage of the weather, we were in luck, not crowded. Park and unload the truck to find the perfect spot to put up our "tent" and settle in for some FUN ... please note you will not see pictures of Carin, there was something of a threat toward me! So here we go,

Dylan on knee-board for the first time, HELP ME, HELP ME!! Followed by, that was FUN, I want to go again! |
We spent almost two hours playing in the water, Eli and Sharon joined the fun as well, and then we went our separate ways. After a trip to Tamale King for a luscious Mexican food dinner, it was back home to toss the football with Papa ...

Great catch Dylan! |
So the evening comes to a close, it's time for a story and to bed! Sunday morning arrives with "pancakes with holes" , otherwise known as waffles; but Dylan decides on Grammie's fried eggs instead ... that works! A great breakfast and then it's time for a walk with Papa down to the lake ...
Who's having fun by now, Dylan is but tiring of having his picture taken, so one last picture from this weekend follows ...
Our next adventure was painting faces on two pumpkins, I've now learned I must give more direction as Dylan painted several small faces on the pumpkin until Mommy came to the rescue. They're cute, but Dylan tired of having his picture taken and asked "no pictures please". We had a great time, and I'm amazed at how Dylan has grown emotionally since he joined the Ponder, Anderson, Waskevich clan. He's come a long way in some 13 months, and we are so proud of him, Carin and Rusty. We're looking forward already to our next visit, and the fun of Fall and Christmas Holidays! So my friends, stay tuned, until next time ...
