Visit to Grandma's July 28th and 29th

 Mason visited Grandma and Grandpa Kendrick in July. Here he gets

ready to practice golf with his plastic clubs.

 Nice full back swing.

 Past horizontal on his follow-through.

We found a cicada coming out of its shell and got to watch it unfurl its wings and dry them

a period of a few hours.

 Grandpa was working on the sprinklers so Mason decided to run through them.

 Theoretically the water is cold, but that did not stop the boy.

 Pretty wet little runner at this point.

Grandma actually agreed to this........
