Grandkids: Halloween to Veterans Day, Part 2

No, this is not a grandkid.  It's not even

something our grandkids would taste!

But it's a yummy recipe Judy tried last

week with acorn squash, stuffed with rice,

pecans, hot Italian sausage, fresh sage, and

shredded cheese.  Delish, especially with some

 grilled peppers, onions, squash and peppers!

I just had to squeeze this in!

Now for the main attraction, the grandkids.

Claire and Evan loved a new yard sale game,
Swinging Snakes.

Evan, I hope that snake's not poisonous.

Evan invents Snake Solitaire.

Spinning tops have a hypnotic effect on children.

I shared a vintage video of WWII era Superman cartoons.

Claire and all the children LOVE this aunthentic
NASCAR tire that a lady gave me at the recycling
center.  It's so wide it doesn't easily topple over, so
they push it all over the field

Push OR kick, that is.

Baseball season doesn't have to end with the World Series.

Evan multi-tasks, cooking and conversing.

Grandpa, no peeking!

Claire and all the grandchildren love to work.
But like in Tom Sawyer's white-washing the
fence episode, it doesn't seem like work to them.

When you're jumping in leaves you have to empty
out your boots once in a while.

Never do anything the easy way.

What form!

Please, let's not let the immovable object
collide with the irresistible force!

While Claire drives us to the beach, Evan climbs
the seats.  Lucky thing we don't enforce all the laws
on private property.

Now we're off to Granny's Doughnuts!

Bri is rolling that tire up the steepest hill around
so she can chase it down.

Did you know that picking the red berries out of
magnolia cones is a lot of fun?

The latest thrill is a 101 Dalmatians game where
three puppies climb stairs, then coast down a track
to start all over again.  Bri fixed it so it would work.

Hunter loved it, too.  It also became a part of
their imaginative play.

Anything Bri did, Hunter had to do, too.
But not necessarily at the same time.

Any NASCAR drivers in search of a new pit crew?

Hunter would rather be a back-seat driver than
a front-seat driver any day.

And the kids don't mind if Grandpa has a little
fun along with snapping these pictures.

More pictures coming!
