Let’s be clear. In terms of the weather, Summer is still on it’s way. Our summer is Indian Summer, and happens once everyone is back in school. But there is nothing to be done about that.

The Grandkids were “In it to win it” as American Idol would say.
They played, they crafted, they lunched, they napped. They listened to Fiona’s music. They cooked mini sized German hotdogs. They had so much fun just being together.

Fun times in the frisco fog! XOXO Thanks Omi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
