Summer Days

We had a fairly good Memorial Day weekend. We started with the bake sale Saturday. Aand then Sunday a trip to Lowes and then a DQ visit for lunch, AIP showed some pictures of our visit with them, but I am showing one of AIP and Jimmy enjoying an ice cream at the Dairy Queen because it seems AIP never gets to get her picture taken. Wish I was that lucky. *VBS*
Also we got to see Brother Bear and his girlfriend Jessica which was a treat for us since we hardly ever see him anymore.

Monday was a day of Baby Bear and I washing the car and then Baby Bear picked up rocks. While we were washing the car Papa Bear was mowing on the other side of the pond, picture above. After telling the story of the Lawnmower racer I couldn't believe that he had gotten himself into another mess. He came over and asked us if we heard him and we said no. Well, it turns out the brakes went out again on the riding mower and down the hill he headed but lucky for him that little bitty tree shown in the picture just below the picnic table caught him! You will probably have to enlarge the picture just to see the tree that saved him!!!! I think the mower is posessed or something! We all three went across the pond and had to help Papa Bear rescue the mower from falling down the hill which was a task. Needless to say I try to watch him closer now!!!!
We had a cookout last night with homemade potato salad, baked beans and hamburgers. I bought some ice cream and cones for dessert. Today after supper I made Papa Bear this banana split for dessert. Doesn't it look yummy? He sure did enjoy it. I hope he doesn't expect this very often. *VBS* I just had the ice cream, cool whip and fruit so he asked me to make him one. Baby Bear opted for a ice cream cone.
