Rocks, bubbles, water!

I think, in the annual gathering that I hold here at Granite Glen with my old ‘city playgroup’ friends and their offspring, that we have stumbled upon the Secret to Happiness.

Well, children’s happiness.  We all know that the recipe for Mother’s Happiness = Happy Kids + Chardonnay.  (Goes without saying really).

Ready?

It’s groundbreaking stuff, so brace yourself…

Take some big ol’ rocks…
