Nana's Ginger Bread Houses for Kids

Nana has the porch table all set up to make ginger bread houses. However, since our main particpants are three years of age or less we will be using graham crackers instead of ginger bread.

















Here is the youngest participant in Nanas little project. Here he is with his Mom, they are getting ready to start building.






















Here is Jack with his Mom and Dad. He is the older participant in the group. He is a real busy body and very intelligent. He caught onto the project really quick, those kndergartner teachers better get ready for this fellow.


















Everything he is using is tasty to both adults and children. Much of the time, one hand was decorating and the other hand was filling someone's mouth.






















Isaac really liked his sprinkles, chocolate chips and generally everything else used to put these things together.


















This ginger bread house looks like the real thing to me. Plus everything was fresh and edible. Another successful projest from the fantastic Nana and a great time was had by all.






















Isaac in the middle of building a ginger bread house. You can see that he is very intent on the task at hand.






















Here is Nana with Mom and son, everyone had a great time.


















This is the Nana with her grandson Jack and his Mom. It appears that they had a great time. I don't think it was just eating the candy, I think they enjoyed actually putting the things together.


















Here is one of the finished results. I don't know who made it. As I write this, evryone has gone home and we have four of them on the dining room table. But everyone including that fantastic Nana had a great time.


Isaac's First Hayride

A kiss from the boy to his Mom, just to show that he is having a really fun time.


























Here is Isaac with his "Nana". They are looking for any adventures that may be heading their way while touring the farm.

One of the handsome men from this family. He comes from a long long line of very handsome men, but I digress and must move on.






















Here he is checking out the straw in the hay wagon. he has yet to learn the difference between hay and straw.

The beautiful "Nana" and her grandson Isaac enjoying the hayride






















There they are again, I love this woman. She makes one of the best Nanas I have ever known.






















Every farm has fall decorations visible for you to take pictures of. Here is Isaac satisfying the wishes of his elders to let them get a picture or two.



























OK, so he didn't really pose. I shot about 25 pictures and these two were the only good ones. That, however, is the beauty of the digital camera. If you shoot as fast as possible while you have the kid on the background the law of averages will sometimes give you a decent picture after judicious cropping. Maybe.
