Last week, all nine little cousins were reunited at Mom's house for a few days during the week. One Grammy, three moms, and nine kids between two and nine years old! We swam, swang, and enjoyed the perfect combination that all nine kids are together. Missing a single one of these would off the balance. Joy thinks she's eight a lot of the time, though, so it's good that Blythe and Maggie have each other as resident two year olds. Though they both say they're five.
Grammy was a happy camper to have nine little faces on the other side of her counter!
The oldest two!
Swing set time- notice Scott and Katie are pushing kids back and forth. They were earning a little "babysitting" money. Even when they weren't officially working, these two were particularly helpful and kind to the gang of two year olds!
Grandaddy and Granny Joan came for a visit. We sure love them and had a great morning playing with them!
Scott and Joy playing around...
Aunt Jo reached a new level of celebrity when she started taking different combinations of kids out for canoe rides.
Including Blythe and Joy!
She didn't kid around- they went far out and toured around for probably 15 minutes!
Aunt Sus swimming with Blythe. Sus is still a pied piper with all our kiddos.
Joy keeping it real with eight-year-old Katie. You can tell she's having absolutely no fun at all.
A side-tracked parade around the pool table one morning...
Here's a page out of one of the attempts at a Christmas card for Grammy. I won't show any more of these pictures in case Mom uses one, but I like how intensely Blythe is focusing on washing Grammy's canoe!
Aunt Susan thinks of all kinds of fun things, but ice cream at 11:30 after a hot morning's work on a canoe probably tops most of the kids' lists!
Looking forward to more of this goodness in July when we do it again with all the dads in town too!
