Anna having a tea party while babysitting

Anna took a babysitting class back in February and was looking forward to earning some money in her new vocation. Then came the pandemic and suddenly that was not an option. But our hairdresser, Shannon, had a four-year-old and was looking for some help. So, today Anna had her first babysitting job and it was at our house.

Marcy helped out a little with lunch and setting up the slip’n’slide in the backyard. They played on the trampoline, played with both Olive and Pickles and Anna set up a tea party picnic. Anna said she had a great time and she was delighted to be paid for her time when it was finished. She celebrated by going to the gas station to get some candy.

Speaking of celebrating, Baba said both kids should go out and get some ice cream, her treat, to commemorate the start of summer break. They were delighted to go to their favorite ice cream place, Glacier, where they enjoyed their special treats.

It was another hot weekend and Marcy worked in the yard for most of it. Jude hurt his foot while playing soccer in the park so he was a little less mobile than usual. This was our last weekend in Denver for a while (we drive to Iowa on Saturday) so we spent the entire weekend at home.
