Goofing in Pontotoc

M.A. and Jimmy were gracious hosts yesterday afternoon on Chiwapa Ridge. We beat the heat with golf cart rides, Popsicles, gin-and-tonics, and of course, the slip-n-slide. Later in the afternoon, the kids decided that climbing up on top of this rock together was a good idea.

Gram draws, kids color

When we didn't have the requested Ghostbusters coloring book, Gram started drawing. You see here to Stay-Puff marshmallow men and Slimer. Thanks, Gram, for a good day, even though we were incredibly demanding!

Building with Big Daddy

David constructed this as a Ghostbuster tower. Big Daddy will turn it into a frame for his compost pile when we leave.

Freezing at the beach

The beach! The beach!

Windswept wonder.
