S Stands For: Summer, Snakes, Soup, Shrimp And Sky

Monday July 18th –

 

Gramma wanted to get in another visit before Pro and the girls left and Mike was headed into town to play some tennis so we decided it was the day to do it.

We got to gramma’s and we were welcomed with the usual gramma goodness 😉
Food, gifts, chit chat and repeat 😋
We ended up going out to the yard to enjoy the weather and gramma had prepared two tubs of water for the girls to play in 😏👭💦

We visited there for a couple of hours and then it was time to retrieve Michiel.
Upon retrieval he was wearing a completely new outfit… leave it to him to say he’s going to play tennis and he ends up with new clothes too 😏

Back at home Dad and Alaina had went outside and Alaina came running in telling us, ‘There was a big nake outside! Papa Bob was going to get it but me jumped when me seen the big nake!’ 😋

Papa Bob did get it… With his homemade snake killing weapon 😜🐍

That evening we ate my most favourite ever, dill and farmers sausage soup 😍

Fresh dill from the garden, potatoes, broth and farmers sausage served with cream may sound simple but it’s sometimes the most simple things that are most enjoyed 😉👌🏻🍵

We moved out to the deck to try to enjoy the cool of the evening while waiting for the temperature inside to drop a little.
Alaina decided to give us all pedicures, including Uncle Mike 😜 

 
Tuesday July 19th –

 

 

Jess and Chase came over that afternoon for one last visit before Pro and the girls left.

We enjoyed the time spent together as well as the barbecued, pita/pizza things we ate for lunch 😋👌🏻🍕

It was +30 outside so we retreated to the cool of the basement for most of the visit, wanting to be able to enjoy our coffee and the cookies Jess had brought ☕️🍪😎

Dad came home a little earlier then usual so he could begin the process of smoking fish, hoping Pro would be able to get it home with her without some grouchy customs personnel taking it away ✋🏻😠❌🐟

Becca was having us all over for supper so we headed there and thoroughly enjoyed Buffalo and barbecue shrimp, along with Greek salad, bread and fries 👌🏻🍤

As if we weren’t already full enough from the main meal, she had made a tasty lemon poppy seed cake and Davey crockets to finish us off with afterwords 😳

As usual the food was delicious and the hostess ever attentive😉

That evening the clouds were rather interesting.
First Pro went out to take some photos, then mom, then I couldn’t resist so I followed suit and then even Alaina was asking if she could please take some pictures of the clouds 😋

The clouds were slightly blurred so if you looked directly up at them, it almost felt like you were dizzy.
