The grandkids are visiting. In reality, there are five kids and two additional adults...Added to our seven cats and two adults, there is a bit of chaos happening here...
The children range from age 2.9 years to 16.01 years...four out of the five are biological children of Fonda's daughter. One is a family friend that is basically a 9th child for them. The oldest four did not come down this time.
They have been here for nine days and will be leaving in three...We are having a (mostly) good time - there is some drama/trauma because things are Not Normal, but things are not normal and will not return to normal until everyone is in their own space again...and even then, it will take more time. It is amazing how much seven additional people eat and make a mess...
The 16yo has been very insistent about going for a drive (with her driving, of course) - to the point where she will pass up playing with the family to go out and drive...
first day:
We went to Ocean Isle Beach and it was an absolutely gorgeous day! Kids got soaked and Mom and Dad had a good time, too.
The baby got soaked and then the decided that he was fine without his swim trunks - I love his hair!
This is Miss. 16 with her baby brother looking out at the waves. Very sweet.
Day two: a "aerial" course that ranged from "baby" to "military"
The photo is from after - the baby did not go on the ropes - it was for 4+
I didn't go on the ropes because I am a) too fat; and b) too fond of my own parts - ha, ha!
After dinner, we went out to the Fuzzy Peach (frozen yogurt) - we had a good time!
Day something: BINGO with Grandmas!
Yesterday: Playing in the sprinkler - these are the middle three...
Now the youngest four...
Tomorrow they are going to the Medieval/Pirate Show and dinner (without us - can't see spending $40 per adult and though, so we will stay home and eat leftovers) - I really hope they have a good time! And come back and tell us all about it - I think they will enjoy it, I do not think we would.
OK - enough for now - more later - maybe after the kids go home - ha, ha!!
