DAYS OF 4 GENERATIONS

The last several days we have had Greg & Susan's boys staying with us. Greg has been working and Susan has been in KC helping June and enjoying the time with her sisters. They went out to eat one day and they always hate being the first one at the restaurant because they ask how many and the one that is there first says, "16 - 4 adults and 12 children". After they roll their eyes, they proceed to take them to a table and they have everyones attention in the restaurant. They are often asked if they have a daycare and they reply, "no, these are all ours." I don't know how much socializing the girls get to do but they all have a good time.

The boys have been building with K-nexs and it takes a lot of time and helps with their crativity. Brendon and Trevin worked with them and made several pieces of playground equipment and some vehicles. They have a merry-go-round, a slippery slide, a teeter-totter, a swing set, monkey bars, and a tire swing. It is time consuming and they really enjoy playing with them.

Caleb made a space cruiser, an airplane, an SUV, and a grandfather clock.


Then below you see Mom & Dad and myself and Brendon playing Sorry. Trevin is shuffling the cards for us when they need to be shuffled. Mom won the first game and Dad won the second game so we youngins have a lot to learn.
