Balloons/Cows and Family

Oma had to work this weekend so the kids and I headed south for a few days. Started off with a carnival at Connie’s school. The kids bounced in a blowup bouncer, threw beanbags, basketball, rings and peanuts for prizes. At cotton candy and drank soda pop…all before eating any sort of good dinner. What a great time!

The next day we took a walk with Rachelle & Connie to visit some cows, feed them and jump in some puddles. Rachelle and the kids had a good time blowing up balloons and seeing how high they would fly and they shot from their hands.
Headed to my folks mid afternoon, our first visit since they have been home from Thailand. Good to see them and just hang out. Grandpa played tag and hide-n-seek for probably two hours that night with the twins and needed quite the shower before bed. The kids were really worn out as well but I don’t think as much as Grandpa was.

Got to see close to ¾ of the photos they took on their trip along with quite a few stories. Wow, what an adventure and fun they had. I will hope to finish up the rest of the photos next time and more stories. We also received gifts from their trip, which we will get to adorn from time to time. Beautiful.

Mom did a lot of cooking, taking care of us and then we just got to catch up on life.
Just what a weekend should be…hanging out and enjoying family/friendships…laughter.
