Bed and Breakfast

                              Announcement to all famly members...the Mike and Cindy bed and breakfast is open and available. Come one..come all!

          If I could do anything all summer long it would be host family here! (And go fishing in the Hills.) Mom and Dad came down this spring and timed it to be here first with Ashley and Michael then Dene' and Tyler. (Disclaimer for Dene' and Tyler...another blog to follow...no we don't love your sister more :)

I confess Cindy and I pray for a cold wet Spring in the Hills to draw Mom and Dad down here for as long as we can get them. And I'm sorry (not really) if any complaints about them being missed back home fall on deaf ears here...you'al have to share. And thankfully the weather was rather nice...70s to 80s and dry while I kept a close watch and reported the rain and 30s-40s in the Hills.

Bird watching was a major activity here and Dad was right in there with the best of us. I found an owl living in a box I didn't even know I had in one of the trees in the back yard.

Here is a picture you don't see everyday. Dad giving us lessons on bird watching.

Even Michael was getting into it. Ok this is really a plane for which Michael has a fascination.

We enjoyed relaxing in the yard. 

We played outside alot.

Drink time 

Bath time

Here Michael is reading me one of his favotite books.

Michael got his first hair cut.

  

 We went to the zoo in Omaha.

Here I think Michael is telling his Mom how he likes to swish the water around when they share the water botttle

 I have to say that after Ashley and Michael left I missed my grandson. Cindy would tell you that I moped about for days after they left...let me tell you the moping hasn't stopped.
