Installing a new window at Grandma Walker's house 06 29 2013

On Thursday afternoon, we ventured to Sac City (IA) to replace the kitchen window in Grandma Walker's house. 

 Oliver got to play with his 'cousin', Stig, who came with his parents, Marty and Samantha (to HELP!!!/actually install the window!!!).

 Marty is the 'real' handyman in our family, and installed the window beautifully!  (After another trip back and forth from Sac City to Ft. Dodge because the window we had purchased and brought over to install was cracked!)

Debating who will do what??? Hurry up, guys.  It's getting dark!!!  

The completed window installed!!!   (We didn't get home very early.... oh well.)

A wild week with Alex and Oliver at Camp Stanhope 06 28 2013

 We talked Alex (our son) into coming to Camp Stanhope to help with yard work and putting a new shower in the downstairs bathroom.

 This is where Bogart decided to spend most of the week, even though it was VERY loud in the bathroom some of the time (it was higher than Oliver could reach!).

 It was fairly hot and muggy early in the week, but Thursday morning was overcast and Alex and I headed outside to trim a tree in the 'north 40'.  Oliver came to 'help'.

Oliver still LOVES to ride in any vehicle, and proved it by riding in several of them this week!
