Our son, Brian called me (I guess he lost the toss..haha!) Anyway, Brian called a few weeks ago and said that He, Gerie, Nathan, and Hester were all planning a trip together and wanted to know if we would keep his son, Billy, and Nathan's 3 kids Jacob, Kinley, and Elyn for 4 days...I immediately said YES...because of course we love having the grandkids over anytime we can! We have never had 4 of them at once to spend the night with us much less have them for 4 days, but we were excited! I immediately started planning what fun things we would do while they were here, I figured it was best to keep them busy, hopefully avoiding too many "missing mom and dad too much" moments! I have "pinned" several fun things for the grandkids on my Pinterest account, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to use some of those ideas!
Sunday night we went to church and just kinda got everyone settled in...We have a room here at our house set up for our grandkids, we have a crib for Elyn and bunkbeds for the older grandkids. However since I didn't want the older ones to wake up Elyn too early, we decided it best to make pallets in our room for the 3 older ones! They loved sleeping in the same room with Grandaddy and Mimi and they all layed down easily each night!!
Monday, August 1st we spent alot of time outside, we set up our kiddie pool, a table for painting river rocks, we played outside bowling, and last but not least we did water balloon pinata`, and water balloon fights!!
A good time was had by all!! :)
The Outside Bowling was a Big Hit!! and they were all really good at it!! :)
Water Balloon Pinata`
Elyn even got in on the water spraying when Billy busted his balloon!
We all had a great time on Monday! It was a really HOT day, and all these water activities were the perfect thing to keep us all cool! :)
**I will continue with the rest of their visit and some more fun things we did in another post!**
