Backyard Socializing with Adam and Joi

One of the days while Adam and Joi were visiting us was spent in the backyard just socializing.  Liza, Whitney and the grandkids were also there to spend some time with Adam and Joi.  Even Judy and her son, Jamie, surprised us by visiting after hearing that Adam was in town!

We haven't spent any time with Judy since before the pandemic so it was nice to spend some time with her on this day.  She and Jamie stayed for dinner with all of us.  I always make more food than is necessary so last minute extra guests never cause a plating shortage.  We were very happy to have them share this day with us...

As the sun set behind the trees and the sailboat, it started getting a little chilly in the autumn evening air so we built a small fire to keep everyone warm and cozy...

The kids always gravitate toward the sailboat and the playhouse.  Actually, we now have a putting green that also captures Lukey's attention.  If I remember correctly, Lukey spent some time with Ace on the putting green.  

In this photo, below, Ellie is enjoying some time on the sailboat sailing singlehandedly.  Whenever I see any of the grandkids on the sailboat, I grab one of my cameras because it is so easy to capture big smiles on their faces while they are on the boat.

This was a really nice afternoon and evening.  One thing that Sheila and I have both missed during the pandemic is entertaining at our home.  It was especially nice to have Adam and Joi there with us for this beautiful autumn day.
