Carly and Lexi got the first shift.
Carly picked out a plate of the best ones to take to Pappy.
Second shift was Dominique and Kaitlyn.
Then Seth and Aden happened by.
We got some pretty awesome pretzels. I dipped a few plain ones after they all left for the less discriminating consumer.
Everyone loved the teepees.
We drew with sidewalk chalk on the deck; played frisbee games on the lawn; ate popcicles and popcorn; had ping pong ball gun wars; discovered a batch of brand new kittens and a few of the kids were brave enough to jump in the cold pool on a cloudy day.
When ever I needed to find the boys, I would first check the sandbox - it is their favorite hangout.
Seth snuggled up with me to watch cartoons and help me out with the popcorn.
Pappy bought a few poppers, snakes and parachutes to entertain. You can't really see them, but the kids thought it was great.
And- we needed some pictures of Pappy!
Lexi had a melt down and went to bed early curled up next to Pappyand Lilly.
The boys were out in less than 5 minutes as usual.
No whispering for the girls tonight. I read to them for a bit then lights out - they were so tired I didn't hear one peep out of them.
