Whew! That was either a tornado or the family was all here for four days. I'm too tired to give you all the details, so here's our family-time in synopsis:
There were airports
and games of pool
and B-B guns
and bows and arrows.
We had craft time
and bon fires,
a hayrack ride
and a scavenger hunt (first one home wins).
We roasted hot dogs
and laughed
and did things we won't tell Mom.
There was shoe shopping cause the dog ate his shoes,
and performances of Swan Lake?
No - just duck feet made from tube socks and orange duct tape ("duck" tape?). The "Hunters and Their Ducks" won "Most Original" at the costume party.
And Rocket Man won first prize!
And, of course, there was cooking and eating and cooking and eating and . . .
dirty dishes.
Now there's silence, two chairs left by the firepit, and the kitchen table pushed back against the wall to seat two again. There are piles of dirty towels, a fridge full of leftovers, a ton of calories to burn off, and amazing memories! Whew!
Loved learning about your 4 days in photos - very clever and looks like it was so much fun.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun time and everyone will remember their own special memories - especially those two little guys . . . What fun and what stories they will share back home!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just THE BEST when all the kids make it home, just like "back in the day"????? You will recover soon enough.
