Another Kinexing Weekend & Wind Chimes

KINEXING TIME

Joseph wanted to create something this weekend, so we pulled the Kinex boxes out. I have accumulated several for the "Grands". This time Josehp & Nana created a "swing" ride. It was fun. So, here is our "amusement park" ride. Joseph is turning the crank in the 2nd picture and there goes the swings. He was so much better at this than I was. But it's a fun "to-gether" project.

WIND CHIMES blowing in the wind

And now to show off just 2 of my many wind chimes. These are the best sounding of them all. Some are just cute, have stars, some are animals, and some are bamboo.

The 1st pic. is of the most beautiful sounding wind chimes that I have ever heard. The name of it is "Amazing Grace", you know, like the song. It is beautiful sounding. The tones of this chime is unbelievable, I can hear it in the house, it's like a beautiful echoing chime. Sometimes, I think I can hear a little of the hymn ringing out. I guess it's kind of hard to describe. I bought it here in town at "RINGS and THINGS". But, you can order them online from Woodstock Chimes. The second one is one that I did order online, that was before I knew "my favorite" store had them. It has a nice sound to it, but if you ever get a chance to hear "Amazing Grace" be do so. Well, of course, you can stop by & hear it 1st hand at our home.

"Amazing Grace"

Meditational wind chimes

This 1 has a very light ringing tone.

Here are a few of my wind chimes that I have. These are cute, different, patriotic. But none come close to the beautiful sounds of the 1st two.

FUN WIND CHIMES

Weekend For "Kinex"ing Creatures and Fun

This weekend Johnny, Joseph & Bryan went out of town on a hog hunt.
So while they were off playing around, Kendra, Joe & Jacquelyn came out to the house to spend the weekend with Nana. We watched a movie, and Jacquelyn had fun making "Kinex bugs". And I, of course, had fun taking pictures of her. Here are a few of them that she made.

Even Kendra & Joe made some "Kinex Creatures". Here are the ones they did.

Jacquelyn is being silly behind her Mom. (See the bunny ears!)

The next morning was for French Toast. Jacquelyn is a great helper in the kitchen too.

Joe & Kendra made pumpkin nut bread (yum, yum) and then made meatloaf for us to eat for dinner tonight. (And as always, it was another great meal by Joe & Kendra). Johnny & Joseph got home in time for lunch. We ate sausage sandwiches, and chips & dip. Then, of course, Kendra, Joe & Jacquelyn had to go home. Thanks for the weekend visit and company. I know I can always count on you all.
