Happy Monday!

What a great weekend! My in-laws are here, so the kids are having a blast showing Grandma Sue and Grandpa Mike all of their new stuff, especially the trampoline. Keira is such a teaser . . . she and Grandpa always have so much fun together! We played outside a lot, played inside a lot, took Grandpa golfing for Father’s Day, and took Grandma to the pool after golfing.

Golfing was awesome! Me, Dan, Grandpa Mike, and Jason went out for a quick round of 9 holes. It was Jason’s first time on an actual course. He had so much fun, and he did so well! We need to work on the etiquette a bit with him, but he really did well. He and Grandpa shared a cart, and Jason was totally blown away when Grandpa let him drive the cart all by himself. Then when Grandpa was chipping on to the green, Dan told Jason to drive the cart up to where we were - Jason’s eyes got huge and he said “For serious?! All by myself?!” I think that was the highlight of his month After a great round of golf, we cruised home, put on swimming gear, and headed back to the pool. It was hot and the pool felt great! We spent 2 hours jumping around and playing in the pool. I can’t fail to mention the best outfit at the pool - it made me smile and giggle at how much this dad must love his children. He was sitting in a chair next to the pool, wearing nothing but his swim trunks and a humonstrous paper necktie, tied around his neck with yarn. It was Father’s Day, afterall! We also got to see some friends we hadn’t seen for quite a while - so that was lots of fun, too! After all that fresh air and fun, Jason and Keira were totally wiped out, so we all hung out and relaxed . . . well, Dan, Mike, and I did. Sue tried to play games with Jason and Keira, but all Keira and Jason did was argue, so we told them they weren’t allowed to play games together anymore. That didn’t go over so well, but it sure was peaceful for the rest of us without the arguing! After the kids went to bed, Mike, Sue, Dan, and I played out nightly games of Canasta . . . we have so much fun playing cards when Mike and Sue are here!

In between all of that, I got to clean out the popup - woo hoo! I know, it’s not healthy to be so excited about cleaning a camper, but it’s a sickness I have. I couldn’t wait to do it. And really, it wasn’t in that bad of shape and it’s not very big, so it didn’t take too long. But I still don’t understand the whole curtains and valence ruffle thing on popups . . . I mean, you fold the camper up for weeks on end . . . these things get so wrinkled and nasty that they don’t cover the windows all the way anyway - why would someone think it’s a good idea to put curtains and a funky ruffly valance thing on a popup? Well, being the freak that I am, I did go ahead and remove the curtains and wash them, then hang them back up. At least they look fine now while it’s sitting in our yard. I’m sure they’ll be all kinds of funky looking after we fold it up and drag it to the campground this weekend. Now all that’s left is to figure out how the water hookups work and load our bedding and stuff in to it. I’m so excited to go camping! Jason is beside himself with excitement - Keira just thinks it’ll be fun to sleep in the camper bed

Grandma Sue and Grandpa Mike are here until Wednesday. The kids are staying home from summer camp today so they can all go have fun. Me, I’m at work today, but I do get Tuesday and Wednesday off to go play with everyone.

What fun things did you do this weekend?
