Our great-grandsons are visiting this month -- really they are visiting their grandparents (who are pretty great too, in the other sense!). But we get to spend some time with them too -- so how lucky is that!
We hiked up Sweet Creek Falls trail between here and the Coast.
The little boys were fascinated by the creek, the big trees, and the series of waterfalls, because they hadn't seen anything like that in South Carolina where they usually hang out with their parents.
Mom (our granddaughter) and Grandma (our daughter) helped the boys get ready to go wading in this quiet section at the bottom of the hike.
They loved it -- especially for a couple of guys used to southern heat! (It's been quite cool in Oregon so far this summer. The weather front that has stalled the intense heat over much of the rest of the country seems to have stalled cool marine air here.)
Great grandsons--wow! They don't come any cuter than that--love the picture of them sitting in the V of the tree. Bet you all had a great time together. Have a lovely weekend. Mickie :)

These images of four generations of your family taking a walk in the woods just makes my heart smile, Sallie.

Oh - I love these little boy pics, Sallie! You're so lucky to have the generations together. We had Bob's Dad earlier this month, and I took the 4 generations photo. It's still pleasant here in the mountains of CO, too - wildflowers are abundant.
