Windows of time...

go under restoration.

Windows are from remodeled homes in the area and years of collecting.

It was time to really enjoy them. 

Step 1: was pressure washing and dry time

Step 2: Sanding, taking off old paint and a good Windex cleaning

Toots was such a explorer and entertainer through the day. It called for a change of clothes before lunch.

 

It was lunch time and a bit of ice cream to keep the job flowing, so much for the change of clothes!

Great Grandma Eileen came by for a visit and got in on 

cleaning up after lunch. Toots needed to show her how.

Step 3: After a bit of Deck Oil, a day to season, drilling holes for hanging they were up to enjoy. 

The top window got a place in the dining room. 

The other hangs on a hall in the bedroom. 

Its finished...I added the butterfly for the kids to see...I had to give up a tall lamp for a table lamp so I lost my height...adding afew books under it solved the problem!

All in a days PlaY...

...at Grandma & Pa-pas house.

The day starts with a ride down to Bear Creek to collect rocks for a rock painting party...

This rock was discovered by Toots...we think it is Po from a animal, any guess' what it might be'?  

Front to back is Toots, sister Vivian and friend Kyla

...we had lots of fun throwing rocks and discovering creatures...Toots found this leaf...but wait it isn't a leaf...what is it? Click on the picture so you can see it closer!

Vivian, above and Kyla found these fish in the water. What kind are they?

After getting home we washed the rocks...Toots got a hold of the soap when no one was looking and had a great time.

After the rocks dried we painted them...oops no picture!

Dad got back from his trip and thought that getting us girls wet would be fun...

...and it was...what a great idea Dad!  Toots is the naked monkey...of course the big girls followed suit...or is that no suit...not pictured!

It was about time to go home and Dad was helping with putting things away when...he found a lizard!

  Did you know that when a lizards tail comes off

it will grow back?

What animal group does a lizard belong to?

 During the day we learned what the name of these plants were...what are they?

May your holiday be fun and safe....
