Cousins Visit

After the wedding, Kenneth & Heidi went to Georgia on a house hunting trip.  Their four children stayed here and my parents stayed an extra week to help out with all the house full of grand kids.   We had several different activities, and for the most part, every one got along.  By the end of the week Grant stated he was"tired" of Joslynn!!

Kaylynn wrote a play for all the cousins to be in.  While we were at the wedding they practiced, made tickets, props, and arranged seating in the basement.  

 

Dad wore this sweatshirt a lot so he was nicknamed "Horizon"

Dad tilled my garden and with mom's help planted several things for me.  My peas, onions, carrots, lettuce, spinach, kale & beets are planted.  Alyssa stated "I didn't know Grandpa knew how to plant a garden".  She was pretty impressed.

 

On art day, the kids decided to color themselves with chalk.  They came in looking like Indians!  The last day, I kept Alyssa home from school and we went to First Dam.  We feed the ducks 5 loaves of bread, chased the geese and went for a short hike.  It was successful as no one got wet!!

The girls picked up some moss and Arianna put it on her head like a wig!!

Mom was completely bored so she started weeding the flower beds.  Kate was kneeling on her back and then sat for a long time as Grandma weeded.
