The final days of summer always zoom by so quickly.... but times spent with family are the best. Last Friday, Miss Maddy and my daughter enjoyed meeting at the movie of Julie/Julia . Which was quite enjoyable. Maddy then came home with me for the weekend!She had not been able to spent as much time, as we would of liked this summer. Growing up so quickly and now has become very active in summer activities at home .
But, she wanted to see the painted turtle. I learned much trivia about the life of a turtles.
She has a passion for wildlife and in particular all things turtle. We also spent time fishing at the ponds and having discussions on the wildlife of Iowa ponds.
On Sunday, we worked on creating a project by "Reduce, Recycle, Reuse" We took an old pair of jeans and sew them into a school bag. Got to love the designs, she created on the bag!
You will find her favorite things drawn and highlighted.
One other trip this summer, she spent several days making a project with her Grandpa. Their speciality together is always with wood. Maddy needed a fish tank stand for her room. The stand was made of wood from our forest around our home. You can see she is quite proud of their creation.
I do believe this girl will grow up to have desires to create and enjoy the creatures and life around her.
What a joy for us to share in a granddaughter's zest and wonder of the world around her.

Good for Maddy! You two + Terry have been spending some quality time together making some memories along with bookbags and fish tank stands.
Sounds like you all had a great time. Great job on the denim bag Maddy!
