At Grandpa's




It took us about 45 minutes to get to grandpa's house from mom's place. The kids were so excited. We arrived and were greeted with hugs (from Joshua & Sarah, Ruth Ann to name a few) and the kids quickly took off to check out the pond. A small paddle boat, canoe, barge, and an assortment of water floats were open to play with. In no time, Glenn was off wrangling kids into swimsuits and into the water. I took off with Aunt Jill to help pick up other needed food items for the big reunion party tomorrow, as that was when most everyone would be here. It was just a day of water fun, setting up the tent, visiting with family, jumping in the kiddie pool, on the trampoline, and relaxing, the weather was wonderful (yes hot and sunny but nothing like TX heat). Papa Clyde, Grandma Dani, Matt, Pixie & Jenny, Vincent & Christine, Robert & Mic, Uncle Rob & Terri were also around to visit with. More family was to arrive later that night, Uncle Lloyd, Cousin Sarah/Paul & kids. By the time the kids made it to the tent around 9:00 PM they were ready to be asleep, excited for the family fun the next day. I cannot express to you the delight in being able to jump into cold water after being in the heat of the sun, it is not something we are able to do out here in TX. All the water is hot/warm in the summer, such a treat to be cooled. Family at the pond, kids in the little pool, trampoline time.
