THE GANGS ALL HERE AGAIN!

When we heard that June was facing some medical procedures, we called and offered to take her children for her so that they would not have to make arrangements for each day.(besides the fact that we love to have them with us) We met Damon in Emporia on Tuesday evening and brought their 5 children back to Hutch with us. We have had lots of fun and are keeping very busy but would not trade it for the world. Then today, Phil came down to help Greg on his roof project for the day and brought Malia & Meredith with him. Oh do the cousins have a time! The girls outnumbered the boys and they played hard all day. Malia showed us some of her gymnastics she has learned and some of the others showed us what they learned from Malia. I think our neighbors enjoy watching all the activity around here because we usually have our cars at the end of the driveway so the little ones won't get to the street and our driveway is humming with children and toys.

The big blue van is always a favorite and they can pack several kids in it.

Damon & June's kids said they wanted clogs and so gramma said, "Let's go shopping!" While we were at the store, one of them commented that he didn't have more than one pair of pajamas:) Must have thought it was a good time since gramma was in the shopping mood.

Molly is always busy but very quiet - cute as a bug too!

Just before Phil left about an hour ago, I was reading a book to the smaller ones.

Above is the fire crew - they wore these hats a lot today - it was a beautiful day so they were able to play outdoors a lot too.
