PORCH CHATTER: SUMMER VACATION BEGINS

This month got kicked off with my trip to Birmingham to have a week long play date with my younger grandson.  Of course, he is 11 years old and I am not babysitting.  We are just playing together this week.

The first thing he told me when I arrived was that he got an ENO for making straight As on his report card this year.  I must admit that, at first, I did not know what he was talking about!  Then he invited me to come watch him set it up and then to get in and enjoy it with him.  We spent over an hour looking up through the tree canopy and watching clouds and talking.  Wowee!!! How much fun!

I have to admit this does look like a canoe we are in.  It is the most comfortable hammock I have ever been in!

Of course we had early morning swim team practice every
morning.

We came back to Chattanooga to enjoy a fun Staycation Day in Chatty with Papa.

We spent the day enjoying Point Park on Lookout Mountain.

Then we helped Papa sell at the Dixie Highway Yard Sale on Saturday.

Nick went home on Sunday and today was his first swim meet.  I am so sorry we missed being there.  He will be coming back soon.

So this is the start of my summer vacation!!!
