Playing

I have to say that the best part about being at my parents house was the fact that the kids could play outside all day, and loved it. I didn't have to worry about them. They were either outside Grandma's house jumping on the trampoline. (They discovered the joys of putting the sprinkler under the trampoline.) Or, they would be at Aunt Cody's house playing with the kids. I spent a lot of time there helping Cody paint their new addition, so they too spent a lot of time there. They kids also had a lot of fun checking on the animals, and were sent on quite a few made up scavenger hunts by their mother. You can only handle 10 kids on one house for so long. Their other favorite activity was riding the 4 wheelers or Grandpa's Big Red. Whenever anyone went for a ride they had to hop on. In case you are wondering what my kids looked like each night, check out the picture of Grant. Bath time was a must, and if the water wasn't that dirty, then they didn't spend enough time outside.
