will this work?

First time trying to load a video. Hope this works and you can see Jack in action. We now have the sound working. Just click the arrow.

Who knew?

Who knew that having grandkids visiting would be such work? OK, I should have know, after all I had kids. But in my defense, I'd forgotten how much work kids are. It seems we're always feeding, cleaning or transporting them. Did you know that wet bathing suits and towels seem to multiply on the bathroom floor? I can't figure out how 3 kids (and two parents) who never remember to take a towel out to the pool no matter how many times they are reminded. And what's with the never ending cartoons!

It's been a long time since I had to worry about kid safety and my house isn't (or wasn't) kid friendly. It's better know.

Now a little about yesterday's adventure. We went to Natural Bridge Caverns "the largest caverns in Texas". We did the North Carvern Tour, called Discovery. It took about 90 minutes to take the tour. I was worried that Jack being only 3 would be afraid. Not our Jack Jack. He was all for it.

We did have to be careful as the walkways were wet.

The underground chambers were filled with spectacular formations. It was a great tour. Walking down was easier than walking back up. My legs are still hurting.

Just outside the caverns is Texas Natural Mining Company "Tesas' Largest Sluice". Of course, the kids had to have a chance to pan for minerals and fossils. The found "gems" and arrowheads. Watching their faces when they discovered items in the pan was worth the trip.

Although, I've not been knitting, Missy did bring her knitting project. She's been learning to knit from Brad's grandmother (GG's in her 90's). Missy's been working on a scarf for over a year. No, it's not miles long, it's only about 3 feet long. At this rate, she should be finished sometime next year.

Keep on knitting!
