Homemade Slings on Memorial Day

"Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language." ~Henry James
Memorial Day brought Nana and Papa, Coco and Jason, Natalie and Jon.  We grilled brats and hot dogs, drank lots of root beer, roasted marshmallows in the fire, and had a Family Home Evening lesson about David and Goliath...complete, I might add, with homemade slings and jumbo marshmallows slung to the Goliaths on the wall (Papa and Easton). I will definitely have to upload one of the movies taken during the competition. :)
I wasn't a super slinger, but Colie and Papa showed great skill.





Maylie loved having her little arms tickled.  She sat perfectly still and didn't move for about 10 minutes.  Oh the sweetheart.  I don't think the boys liked tickles until they were about 2 years old!
