Our Garden and Pets

Having pets is wonderful but sometimes they can be a pain especially when they're still pups.  Bolt and  Maximus has been busy  laying down on the veggie and flower garden.  Si I was forced to put some board to block them from getting into the veggie garden.

I can tolerate this  flower beds to get ruined because they already  bloomed but the veggies, I had to do something.  These irises are on the other side of our yard.

On the other side, the kids planted some corn, beans, and  tomatoes.  I told my kids a story about  planting corn  when I was growing up and they really want to experience that too.  So I bought a pack of corn seeds and let them plant it.  They are now big.  The photos were taken a couple of weeks ago.

Having a decent size yard is nice especially if you have kids and pets.  Not to mention that you can grow your own vegetables during  warm days.

The grass in our yard is looking brown because of the heatwaves that we have been getting. I feel bad for those WVnians at the bottom of the Northern Panhandle who got hit by the storm. I hope that they would get their electric back and goes back to normal again.

Wacky Wheel

While Ms. Burrito love  fast rides, Mr. Burrito is the opposite.  He chooses the rides that are slow.  He wanted to try this Wacky Wheel ride so we let him.  Ms. Burrito did not want this one so we went to the Lil' Phantom and Daddy stayed with Mr. B.

This is a classic kiddie Ferris wheel. It has 6 cars shaped like cages.

Classic Car Show

We stumbled upon a classic car show the other day when we were leaving  the store.  My son is a real car buff, so we had to stop and take a look.  Some of the cars don't really qualify as "classics" but they were nice to look at.  The kids really liked this Plymouth Prowler.

This Chevy Camaro brought back memories of high school for my hubby.

There were a few classic hot rods from the Mopar lineup.

This is a car from my FIL's younger years.  I'm sure he would love to take her for a spin.

This truck was immaculate.  I don't think the owner missed a single detail on this beauty.

This beautiful red sports car was my favorite at the show.  Hubby told me it was a Cobra kit car and not the original, but it still took my breath away.

My son was really into this beauty.  He was very interested in the "miniature mechanic" taking a look.

There were lots of classic Ford Mustangs.  Ms. Burrito like the mustangs.

Photos were taken at the Steubenville Mall Parking lot.

Dad's Special Day

This is the second part of our Father's Day celebration. We spent some quality time with my husband at home in the morning and then we spent the rest of the day at Dad's!  We devoured some pork baby back ribs, egg noodles, green beans, and cream  of corn.

We always thank God that  HE continuously bless our Dad with good health.  The only thing that  bugs  Dad once in a  while is his shingles, my husband  would  put a local anesthetic called Xylocaine or lidocaine on his skin whenever he is in pain.  He is  turning 90 years old in  few more months and   we are so happy that we get to enjoy his company everyday.  Our children are still  young so I want  them  to have more  photos with their Pap.

Splish 'n Splash

Me and Bolt picked some raspberries at my SIL's backyard while the kids and hubby are splishin and splashin in the swimming pool.

Before they jumped in the pool, they played horse shoe first.

Having a swimming pools is very nice during summer time but I think that maintenance  cost is  expensive.  Both my sister in law Chris, and my brother in law Rick has one.
