Throughout the summer
we spent many days out at Grandpa’s Ranchette where friends and
family would gather. We would spend hours in the pool and have
lunch in the pool house or a cookout in the screen in barbeque patio
in the back. Grandpa also got a horse, and we would occasionally
ride it but it was a bit to high spirited for most of the kids.
David jumping into the pool, I'm next. We put styrofoam blocks on the end of the diving board to make it higher. Dad got the block from the chemistry department which were used to ship gallon jugs of acid.
