Fun with the Grandkids

     Last weekend we had the privilege and fun of having four of our grandchildren spend six days with us at our house. Yeah! Their parents left for Hawaii to celebrate their 10th Anniversary on Wednesday and returned home the following Monday.

     On Friday, the parents of four of our other grandchildren left for a weekend away. Those kids got to stay with their Aunts in Lehi.

     So Saturday we took all eight of them to the farm and Barnyard Boo! at Thanksgiving Point. We had a great time watching and feeding the animals, petting the horses, playing the Halloween games, listening to the story time, and riding in the horse-pulled wagon.

     The next day, being Sunday, we again had all eight grandkids, plus the Lehi Aunts join us for church. Our choir was scheduled to sing in Sacrament Meeting, and Don and I are both involved in the choir, so we asked the Aunts to come watch the kids we had, meaning they also brought the kids they had - besides, the Single's ward doesn't have a Primary or Nursery. Our Nursery usually has about 12 kids -- we added 4 more, sort of - one of them did not want to go, so he stayed with Grandpa during Sunday School and Priesthood Meeting.

     After church they all came to our house for lunch. Then the Aunts left with their kids and our kids took a nap, and Don and I had choir practice at our house. It was awfully good of our kids to stay in their rooms until we were done with choir, though two of them woke up before we were done.

    We has soooo much fun having the kids here and hope they will want to come stay with us another time.
