What a great week we recently spent with our grands.
I just love the summer!
Here are a few highlights of some very special memories.
Grace took swimming lessons at the YMCA by our home. We went each day and she loved every minute. You can see how tan she is.
On the last day they practiced boat safety. Here is Grace going off into the pool. Little did she know they would flip the boat to teach the kids how call out for help and not to panic in a water emergency!
We met up with our neighbor and her kids for lunch. The children had so much fun together. When we were finished eating we took them all to the library to read.
Kayla was reading to Grammy, and she was really doing a very good job! Of course, when your mom is a teacher it helps a little.
Grace was so excited to read to Grammy as well!
A visit would not be complete without a shopping trip. The girls love to take a bunch of dresses into the changing room and then model them for Grammy.
Here is Kayla patiently waiting while her sister got her hair cut.
We had some rainy afternoons, but that didn’t slow the girls down very much.
And here is my very own Mary Poppins!
My sweet and very patient friend Debra came over and taught me how to use a few new textures. I decided to try them out on a shot I had recently taken of a teacup and flower . Thanks Deb for your help!

These are so great Susan. The girls are lovely. Sounds like fun times with Grandma! I love the rain shots!
Nice use of the texture ... I'm still learning myself! The grandkids make such good subjects to photo!
Susan -- your photos are marvelous! Your "girls" are so photogenic. Simply wonderful! :)
Hi Susan, What a fun week of photos! I love that first one of Grace~ such a cute expression! The umbrella shots are so fun! And I enjoyed our time together playing with photoshop!
Oh my goodness. Awesome photos. Love the last three, but they are all great!
The girls are just so pretty! I love Grace's personality in the first shot!
Your grandchildren are precious! how very sweet and it looks like they were really enjoying themselves. Love the rain shots, the dresses . . . I could go on and on . . . also, your textured teacup and flower photo is inspirational!!
Oh Susan, what fun! You did such a great job on the textures. And all your sweet grandkid shots are gorgeous. I especially loved the rain pix - I suspect my grandchildren would totally agree. :)
Love those last two shots of your granddaughters in the rain. I like the black and white with the umbrella. Very nice!

I love the rain shots...and that first shot - the look on her face is priceless!
Those rain shots are awesome!
You have such beautiful subjects! Love the them all. But the teacup with the texture is gorgeous. I wish my computer would support a nice editing program. Maybe one day. In the meantime I'll just enjoy yours.
Found my way here from Kim's.

Your textured Tuesday photo is beatuiful. I'm just learning textures myself =)

A beautiful selection of photos ~ I like how you've used Kim's texture in the last one!
Susan it was so nice of you to stop by. I worked hard on all of that sewing. Thanks for noticing. You're welcome to follow along. I wanna splash in the rain like your daughter Grace!

You are such a fun grammy! I could so tell from the posts I read how these granddaughters of yours just light up your world. :)
You did wonderfully with the textured shot!

Love Mary Poppins! Wish I had your gifting for photography. I just don't have time to learn the art, but I do love a good picture.
Thought about you recently as I thumbed through my personalized copy of "Anonymous." You are dear to my heart and I just wanted to say hello.
