Gramma Gayla gets a new dock

Gramma Gayla was in the market for a new dock in the pond.  And Troy and Todd were up for the challenge.  So, we packed up and headed back to Ohio for the day last weekend.  The boys worked, the kids swam and Gramma and Aunt Shannon got to snuggle with Mia.

Look closely.  Nate even got in on the chalking your hair action.  Try not to be distracted by the cotton candy stuck on the side of his mouth.  That's not chalk!
