Dad asked us if we could help paint his house this summer, so we planned on going down to the farm before the 4th to get it done...it just so happened that those days were the HOTTEST days of the summer, thus far, AND it was the week that Millie was staying, too. Ben & Kelly were in Alaska for a visit, so we thought it was perfect timing to get some Millie loves in!
On our second day of painting, the Morrow girls came up to help. These four were so good at entertaining each other that G'ma hardly saw them! Brooke was a big help inside with Mills...
Sam was an amazing help the 2nd day of painting...
I thought we could paint the house in two days...Dad looked at me like, "Are you insane?" when I mentioned this. He was right--we ended up taking the 4th off and then painted one more day on the 5th.
Here are the cousins at the Johnson Parade, 2013.
They got to ride in the back of Papa's Gator...
...while Papa drove his wife around in his midlife crisis! :)
Katie and I were on Millie Duty. :)
They got some great comments from their signs--and the car!
Connor even got in on the parade. He had the chicken brake covered. :)
After the parade, we all came to Mom's for a picnic and the Lochheads discovered that we all love to play baseball.
Fireworks in Clarkston!
Josh waved the flag...the fireworks left him whimpering with his hands over his ears, but he survived!
And then we finished painting the deck the next day...
Clothespinning is seriously a lost art. :)
