Little kids mix play dough colors, so when there are a lot of kids we like to have a lot of one color of dough to go around. We made this chocolate dough for William’s third birthday party and now it is our favorite!!!

We enjoyed a day with Gran’s parents, Great and Pop, and our dad, Papa Jeff.
After dinner, William and Papa Jeff fished in the back yard until well after dark. William caught three fish.

William and Papa went right back to fishing the next morning. William caught three more fish before coming inside to play with the other kids.
The next few days I didn’t get any picture because we were too busy packing up and driving to my house.
Love,
