PAPA'S HOUSE

I TOOK THE FOUR KIDS OUT TO PAPA'S FOR PART OF THE WEEK. WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME PLAYING AT THE PARK, RIDING BIKES, AND CLIMBING THE HAY BALES. WE ALSO WENT SWIMMING TWICE WITH EVERYONE AT TWO DIFFERENT POOLS IN ONE DAY!!! THE KIDS WERE SO GREAT AND I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THE FOUR OF THEM. BUMMER WE ONLY GOT TO SEE PAPA DURING THE EVENING SINCE HE HAD TO WORK. NEXT TIME WE WILL HAVE TO GO FOR A LONG WEEKEND. HUNTER HAD FUN FOLLOWING GRANDPA AROUND WHILE HE TINKERED WITH HIS MOWERS. AT ONE POINT HUNTER CAME IN AND TOLD ME GRANDPA WAS NOT LISTENING TO HIM. WHY HE THINKS HE IS IN CHARGE I HAVE NO IDEA. I HAVE WAY TO MANY PICTURES OF THE GREAT TIME WE HAD TO EVEN POST, BUT HERE ARE A FEW.

4TH OF JULY

HEATHER AND NEPHEWS ALONG WITH MY PYRO KIDS HAD A WONDERFUL TIME SETTING OFF FIREWORKS A LITTLE BEFORE THE 4TH. WHICH IS PROBABLY A GOOD THING SINCE IT RAINED ALL 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND. WE STILL MANAGED TO GET SOME OFF AT UNCLE JEREMY'S BEFORE THE RAIN. UNCLE JEREMY WAS DETERMINED AND LET ALL HIS OFF IN THE RAIN WITH A FEW DELAYS FOR BREIF HEAVY DOWNPOURS!!

Branson Vacation

I TOOK THE KIDS ON A LITTLE VACATION TO BRANSON. LESA AND HER TWO NIECES, CASSIE, HEATHER AND HER TWO NEPHEWS AND ME AND MY TWO. YES FOR THOSE COUNTING SIX KIDS AND FOUR ADULTS. WE HAD A GREAT TIME. SATURDAY WE VENTURED OFF TO SILVER DOLLAR CITY. ONLY GOT TO RIDE THREE RIDES BEFORE WE REALIZED THE RAIN WAS GOING TO WIN. SUNDAY WE SPENT THE DAY GO CARTING, BUMPER BOATS AND LITTLE CARNIVAL RIDES FOR THE LITTLE ONES. THERE OF COURSE WAS LOTS OF SWIMMING AND LOTS OF MINATURE GOLF. WHICH WAS GREAT BECAUSE OUR ROOM WAS RIGHT AROUND CORNER FROM POOL AND GOLF COURSE. I HAD TO COME BACK A DAY EARLY TO GO TO WORK BUT THE KIDS STAYED DOWN AND HAD A GREAT TIME WITH THEIR FIRST TRIP TO LAMBERT'S. TARALYN'S DREAM PEOPLE JUST THROWING ROLLS AT YOU!!
