Boat Ramp Progress- Butterfly at Garden

The first concrete pour for the sidewalks and pads for picnic tables and the pavilion will take place this afternoon. Shown here is the coffer dam for the boat ramp itself. Met with the contractors this morning and had to stop on the way back to City Hall for the butterfly shot at the garden at the City Park.

Birthday Weekend for Josh

Case waiting on Nanny at the City Park in Gainesville

Case made his second Josh Birthday Weekend trip this past weekend. I picked up case Friday in Fort Worth and we met Nanny in Gainesville at their wonderful City Park.

Saturday, Josh had his birthday party at a Nature Center in Amarillo and then it was on to the Maxor Family picnic at a park in Amarillo where the kids had a great time playing on the bounce houses. Back to Gainesville Sunday to meet Joey and Allison. Great trip with Aunt Kim, Uncle Ryan and the three grandsons.

Why didn't they have these things around when my kids were young- Case enjoying a movie, probably Scooby Do, in the car

For those who don't know, our 3 grandsons (from bottom) Josh, Case and Kody
