The California cousins came to visit, and we went for a picnic lunch with them. While we were there, this swallowtail landed on Ruby, and she gave it to Desert Girl.
Desert Girl was enthralled. I don't know if she had ever held a butterfly before.
She can't stop smiling.
Now the butterfly is getting really close, and she's not so sure anymore.
Maybe it's better if butterflies stay at arm's length!
Beautiful Ruby!
The swallowtail left Desert Girl, but it stuck around.
Desert Boy took a look at it, but he was much more interested in...
...bones! He found a wonderful big bone and was so delighted when I told him he could bring it home. It's in our sandbox now.
Next we went swimming, and the girls headed out into the warm water.
Desert Girl loved swimming with her Grandma.
Desert Girl was learning how to hang out from her older cousins!
We had a fun afternoon.
So much fun that we came back and swam the next day. You can never swim too much in a hot summer!
Oh what a perfect summer day! Grandma looks like she is loads of fun!!
