Right now I'm so far behind on blogging the "country memories" that I don't even know quite where to start. It's really tempting to just blog about last weekend, our time in Sidney with #1 Grandchild's birthday, but that's kind of silly when I want to add a few other things from before that.
The "Country Memories" got neglected while I got ready for and went to and posted the Finland trip memories.
When I went back to do some catch up posts I realized that I'd never even posted the pictures from Kara and Kaela's birthday party.
Their birthdays are in July, but the girls were staying in Sidney for 3 weeks including their birthdays, so we had their party later in August.
Hey, it's the party that counts, right?
And this was so much fun!

We got a new trampoline for the girls's birthday. We've really missed having one for several years now. This is our 3rd trampoline in 16 years.

The table's all set up in anticipation of party time!
Caitlyn, Katie, Kara (11) Kaela (9) and Hannah


That is an "11" and a "9"---NOT a 119!
And they finished up the party by cooling off in the pool

Good friends, good times!
