Saturday Evening Post

from Midland, TX!

This Saturday evening, we are in Midland with family!
These grandsons are so much fun! 
They are definitely 'outside pets' and we spent Saturday afternoon 'outside'. 
This cannon is located near Midland/Odessa Airport.  It's fun to climb on and pretend to go to battle.  There is a new discovery about this old piece of history every time we play on it.
At the little park nearby, we enjoyed a cool picnic snack.  The boys ran off more energy than PawPaw and I could comprehend.  We just sat in the shade with a cool breeze while they played and played.
Returning to their home, we made a couple of edible crafts.  These are as much fun to make as they are to eat! 

Lips are red apple slices,
teeth are mini-marshmallows,
held together with peanut butter.


The square butter pretzels are topped with Rollo's candy and heated in the oven,
then topped with marshmallow pumpkins.
YUMMY!
Alvin and the Chipmunks entertained us for movie night while we had pizza delivered.  This is a big treat for the grandparents because there is no pizza delivery to the cabin or to our house in Amarillo!
The parents?  We really enjoyed visiting with our son and daughter-in-law this weekend.  They had a big date on Saturday in Lubbock at the Tech game. 
We had a big date with the boys! 
It was a winning weekend!

Side note (at the bottom):
Sam's Clubs carry different products in different cities.
We found canadian bacon, chocolate chips and various k-cups in Midland.  These items have been discontinued or unavailable in Amarillo for weeks!  Score!
