June 9-11 - Aound the House with Arlo

​Early morning breakfasts with Arlo and Shan.

While Arlo was at Gigi’s, Carl and Pappy went for a load of sand so Arlo could use his digger. 

Arlo came home to play outside in the sunshine with his digger. 

Story times are nice and cozy. 

June 8 - Around the House and Movie Night

​Used child labor to clean up around the house. 

Madagascar was the movie of choice for tonight. 

June 7 - Hike to Carr and Feeley Lakes

​Great weather for an alpine hike, so we headed up the 20 for a hike among the trees and along 3 alpine lakes.

A very tired Arlo when we stopped for dinner at 5 Mile House. 

June 6 - Fireman’s Festival and Pride Parade

​Arlo saw a lot of fire trucks, ambulances and rescue trucks and games. He had a ball. 

Then it was time for Nevada City’s Pride Parade. Lots of fun with floats and costumes. 

June 5 - T-ball, Downtown NC

​June 5 started off with a knock on our door from Arlo. We ate a little breakfast and then we played Arlo’s version of Skyjo. 

T ball time. 

Dinner at Three Forks and a walk around Nevada City for their Art Walk. 

The NC Winery had a beautiful quilt and mixed media show. Some of the ones that caught my eye:

June 4 - Drew’s Birthday

​Drew and Erin are in South Africa for Drew’s conference and some exploring. 

A couple videos Erin sent:

And a herd of wart hogs 

It’s also Drew’s 38th birthday. We will celebrate when that get home in the middle of June. 

Once again, we had a visitor at the RV. Almost as soon as he was up the steps, he asked Pappy for pancakes. Guess what Pappy made them!

June 3 - Routine Shot to Bits!

​6 o’clock on the dot we got a knock on Belle’s door. Guess who?

I asked, who’s there. The answer was it’s Arlo. AND it has started … life around Arlo, just like we’ve wanted. Pappy read some books  then Arlo and I had to go to his playroom for some toys and more books. 

Lenny is not as thrilled as we are with Arlo. Just a little jealous. 

Shan and Carl appeared around 7:30 so Pappy made pancakes for all of us. 

It’s hard to believe how much more talkative he is. He carries on a conversation and he knows what he wants (a lot like his mom was!). He likes to sing, too. I’ll try to get some videos of him singing, especially the Hallelujah Chorus!  That sure surprised me  

It was time for Arlo to go to Gigi’s. his daycare. Pappy and I drove him there and listened to Arlo tell us all about the drive. 

When we got back to Shan and Carl’s. Shuff and Carl got started mowing and weed whacking.
