Day 3 With 13

Wow!  The house was quiet until about 7:30 this morning!  I think the kids wore themselves out yesterday.  Everyone sleepily arose and we opened the doors and windows to welcome a beautiful mild summer day.  From 90s and humid to 70s and dry, the change is so refreshing.

Lunch on the deck:


Enjoying the gorgeous weather:

 Lots of rope swinging, Capture the Flag, and Freeze Tag:

We saw a couple of turkeys with about 10 babies; here's one perched in the tree:

Some little girl talked the boys into having a tea party with her, the ponies, and a couple of barbies:

Ahhh, mandatory quiet time :)

The outbreak of joy and cheering after the kids were informed that we were going out to eat and to Going Bonkers tonight....

Meal line-up:




Cutest duo ever!  Ami is about 6 months older, but a bit on the shorter side.



It's been a fun three days with our friends.  And it's been a great trial run for our next set of six house guests that arrive on Friday.  We can't wait!

It's been SO fun seeing all the activity around your house this week. That play area looks AWESOME!! Funny how your house will feel quiet with "just" 5. Ha!

You're either the craziest woman in the world or the best friend anyone could ever have. :) I'd love to be one of those kids though, as it sounds like so much fun.
And you're going to do it AGAIN?
Prayers for Jocelyn!!!!! and Chris too.
