Out in the backyard

Lauren has been enjoying her summer out in the backyard of Grandma and Grandpa. There is always so much to do. Pumpkin plants, apple trees, squash...

"I'll keep an eye on this pumpkin for you Grandpa. I will check it every time I come over."


"I only get a little dirty out here in the tan bark. You can still read my bib so I'm not that dirty."

"What are you looking at Grandma?"

Since there is a water restriction in Oakland, watering the plant has been via a watering can. Grandma and Grandpa gave Lauren her own watering can to help out. Today was the first day she got to use it. She had a lot of fun helping water the plants. She also decided to water herself too, so there was an outfit change in the middle of the day. She loves this water can so much she doesn't want to let it go. She held on to it tightly all around the backyard.

"These flowers are thirsty."

"Hey Grandpa. I found a flower down here."

"Hi everyone!"

"Is patting the pumpkins good for them?

"The shade is nice after watering all those plants!"

The cute little dress Lauren is wearing is from Grandma.
