​
A little rain - not a problem.
Mom's garden will have a few more decor pieces.
Dad and big brother provided support and encouragement.​ Our very ice creamy Milkshakes were eagerly awaited and "warmed" up every one. Some energy fuel for creativity to help with the painting process.
​
The creations are really beautifully done !!

Thank you for spending your family time with us.​
