4th of July at the Zettel Zoo

Yes it has been over a year since I posted and lots of crazy stuff has happened and I've just been lazy but this was too much fun not to share.




Cousins are the best!




Little kids, big slide!


Big ball on the tramp.





Trying our skills on the climbing wall.


Made it!


Now it's the little guys turn.





A little help please.


Our newest little one. He's a handsome dude!


Some slept through it all.





Some were goofy.


Some just talked and relaxed.


Some were even goofier!


Batter up.

Lots of kids, lots of food and lots of fun. Just like it should be.

EASTER DRESSES

Although I am finding it increasingly hard to sew, I decided that this year I would go for it and make some dresses for the grand-girls to wear to church.

A couple of months ago I found some fabric at WalMart for $1.50 a yard so I gobbled it up and this is what I ended up with…

Very simple dresses…

With little crocheted shrugs…

Even one for the littlest one…

I didn’t get pictures yet of all of them in their dresses but here are a few…

And then of course things wouldn’t be normal without them being goofy…

That’s how we roll.

SPRING PART 2

“I looked o’re the fence and what did I see?

One little horsie in the field behind me!”

(Sing it to “Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree”)

This little one was born yesterday morning in the field behind us….

Isn’t it cute?

It was this one’s turn for a sleep-over…

So I woke her up to come see…

We got some carrots from the fridge and tried to coax them over…

Didn’t work. I guess we’ll try taking them over there…

Here horsie, horsie, horsie….

I’ve got a treat for you…

Grams, they won’t come…

Come back Aubrey, I miss you…

That was fun…

Ooooops…

I think I stepped in something…

Better clean it off…

Well at least the other horse will eat them…

That’s cause for celebration…

Breakfast at our favorite “Star Cafe”…

I sent a text to tell my girls about the wondrous occasion and this was Emma’s response…

I’m a Gramsneigh!!!!

SPRING

When it’s spring break and you are visiting Grams and this is happening…

You sew…

Pillow Cases…

You go and visit MIMI SUE  at the store she works at and try on dresses without even taking off your levis and t-shirt….

Then your cousin comes over and you make a bunch of these…

And then you take them outside and do this…

It was fun and one can always dream of warm and sunny days….
