Lets Go Fly A Kite!








This past weekend we had visitors from "Up Nort"
our beautiful cousin's & their children!
Busy fun weekend...

play, eat, play, sleep, play, eat, pool, sun, play, eat, play, movie, sleep, play, eat, pontoon ride, kite flying, eat, play, packed in the car and hopefully SLEEP!

And us adults got some time to sit down & chit chat a bit too :)
Love when they come to visit us
and
we will be back up there visiting them soon.
We are lucky to have such good family friendships!

Many funnies from the weekend I MUST share
these all came from the kids ages 1 to 8 years old...

Jerod's brother stopped by and must have came in the basement door,
saw ALL the kids on the floor watching a movie in sleeping bags and ran away!
The kids came upstairs and said
"someone just came in the house and ran out..we're FREAKED. AND he was a black guy"
ha! Jerod's brother has nice dark skin...tanning easily in the summer! ha!

Our friend Jeff hung out with us this weekend while his prego wife (finding out the sex of the baby TODAY...so excited for them) was a bachelorette party (that I couldn't attend...but thought of all you girls and hope you had a blast) He told Jerod he had no "supervision" this weekend and Ron (cheap Captain Morgan) was coming out! ha! Anyways back to the story...
Jerod and Jeff had gone golfing ALL day, 2 rounds of 18 + beverages
So when they came home, they were full & continued to throughout the evening!
Jeff was talking to one of the kids, just asking about what sports he likes and so on...
he comes into the kitchen and says
"mom, you know that guy with glasses? I think he has had way to many beers!"
Ha! It was so true, but still so funny!

Other funnies included telling me that
"Breck's hair makes him look like a monster"
And while on the pontoon ride "wow, there's a lot of water"

What an entertaining weekend...this is why i love kids!
We ended the weekend out on the lake
Grandpa Tom brought the kids out for a quick pontoon ride around the lake...
nice for a hot humid muggy Sunday morning!

We laughed as he made the children (& Stacie) MaRcH down to the dock
as though they were in a parade!
The KITE was our flag!
When we got onto the lake grandpa decided he wanted to fly a kite,
yes, off the pontoon as we strolled around the lake!
I bet nobody has seen this before...either have we!
ONE problem, changing direction caused the kite to flop in the water...
and when it was finally reeled in...
THERE WAS NO KITE AT THE END OF THE LINE!
we were laughing so hard
as grandpa made the kids march back up to their house
with their head dropped in memory of the KITE!
ohhhhhhh the fun he has with those kids!

Best part...this is what he used to do with us...and we fell for it too!
What a great dad/grandpa!

Up at the house grandma had grilled for us
yes eating again!
tummies full, hugs & kisses goodbye, packed in the car, waving g' bye
till next time!
