The Texas grandkids were here for two weeks at the end of June. They are back home now, but I’ll share some photos of the first week of their visit.

The first morning they were here we spent time in the barn. This is Jade (the sheep) asking for attention from Kasen.

Kirby found that Sparky is a little bigger than during her last visit three months ago.

One of the goals of this visit was for Kirby to accompany us to Black Sheep Gathering in Oregon to show sheep. I had started halter breaking some of the lambs, but now it was time for Kirby to get involved. We moved her sheep to a separate pen where she could easily work with them.

Kirby also started a rigid heddle weaving project which she completed during her visit.

I had a warp on this table loom and Kasen wove on it, using a variety of colors.

One of the days we drove to Marin County to spend some time at the beach. As is common on northern California beaches, it was windy and cold, but that didn’t keep the kids from playing in the water.

I had signed up for an afternoon tour of the Marine Mammal Center.

Many mornings Kasen and I went for a walk while Kirby was still in bed and before it got hot. Ginny was glad to have someone to throw the ball.
