Summertime Fun

Here's an update on my summer. I had a great time at my good friend Landry's birthday party at Flipz. I made her a homemade card too!

Blake and I like to put on mommy's shoes and wear them around. Blake won't like this picture in a few years.

Our baby birds grew up and are now gone. We also let the butterflies go after they were with us for a few days.

At my great-Grandma Anderson's house we swam in a pool.

My dad and great-Grandpa Anderson built this picnic table in Hays, KS in the 1970's. It's old (but daddy says he's not old).

I caught fireflies at Grandma Anderson's house for the first time ever. It was fun! I kept them next to where I slept at night.

Great-Grandpa Anderson

Nels Anderson - 1923 - 2011
My great-granddad Anderson passed away unexpectedly on July 1. He was my papa Anderson's dad. My dad says great-granddad Anderson was a great example of "The Greatest Generation". He served in the pacific in World War II and never spoke about his experiences until after he went on his Honor Flight a couple of years ago. I always enjoyed my trips there to see him and great-grandma in Holyrood, KS. My last trip there was in April when my Grandpa Deiter and my dad went to get a lawn mower that great-granddad gave to my dad. That was just two weeks after we were in Holyrood for their 65^th wedding anniversary in April.
