Treasures

Jacob and Lauren had another fun-filled evening at Nana's.  As soon as we got to the house, we went to check on the progress of the fence.  Not much longer....(she says, for the umpteenth time).  Next, we must check the skimmer basket.  Now this has become one of Jacob's summertime favorites.  There's just no telling what treasure we may find in the skimmer basket.
