...and away she goes....

 We are so proud of all the hard work Amy has done to make this day possible. 
 Two non-stop jobs, and now she is on her way. 
After having to take a year off of college, she has earned her way back for another year.
Now we will be counting the days until your first break and you make the trip home!

Supper over the fire and a goodbye to Amy

 We haven't had a campfire this year at Grandma and Grandpa's house because it has been so hot and buggy...but tonight was the night. 
 Perfect weather and cool temperatures.
Kimmy husking the corn and Luke raking the dry leaves away from the fire place.
 Gracie getting the citronella candles lit to keep away the mosquitos.
 Looks like all toe, Amy!  Amy leaves on Friday to head back to college after a year off. And boy, was that year full of hard, hard work!
 Mark and Luke testing their soccer skills.
 Time to get the fire going.
 Danny and Grandpa
 Pat cooked the hotdogs over the open fire.
 Some of us gathered around the picnic table.
 Swistak corn...the best!

 Laura and Becky
 Poor Mark, braces will cause this to happen.
 My bookend babies.
 Time to make the s'mores.
 Luke

 Kimberly
 Grandpa..look at him...can you believe he is 86 years old...I can't
 Gracie and Grandpa
 Everyone wants a s'more.
Everyone was able to wish Amy a grand farwell except for Matt and Alexis.  (Boy I miss those two!)


 Laura being silly and cooking a marshmallow over a citronella candle.  I bet it wouldn't taste very good if she kept it up.
 Look natural, Grace.
 Mark

 Becky
 Pretty Kimberly
 Becky getting ready to take part in the ice water bucket challenge...Pat is the assistant.
 I thought this was Becky's challenge.
On the way home, with Kimmy adorned in her Seminole Indian headdress.

Amy, as lawyer Elivira Gray, in the interactive dinner theater mystery; Murder in the House of Horrors.

It was a great show, but no---I won't tell who the killer was!!

Candycane Candleholders

Amy and Laura recently visited a nursing home and the nuns there had made these lovely candleholders.
I think Amy did a great job relying on memory to make her own.
She simply taped the candycanes onto a long taper candle.
Cover the tape with ribbons.
I think they are so cute.....I believe these will be added to our yearly Christmas crafting
repertoire.
