Grandkid Day!



Morning came a bit too early after a night of celebration and fun last night at St. Peter. I kept seeing people appearing from all corners of the house.....Mike O, Callie, Ron Weasley (aka..Kyle) and Justin and his new dog Jack. I think my kids recruited people to come and witness their mother's hangover. (deep sigh)

However, I was determined to enjoy a day of Grandkids. Joe and I headed out to Bunker Hill to pick up Cam and Nick and returned to find Daniel and Alexis had also arrived. Mike O completed the crowd and he and Joey headed across the street for the BIG day of carnival fun.

Daniel was a little on the small side for the rides, but enjoyed the Merry GO Round, over and over. Nick decided that Alexis was his personal favorite cousin and took delight in taking care of her, carrying her on his back to the carnival.

The kids returned with prizes from the games and stories to tell of the rides and long lines. A gourmet meal of chicken tenders, tator tots and applesauce was enjoyed by the little crowd, topped off with a pile of strawberries, watermelon, pears and apples. Daniel threw in a peanut butter sandwich. So far, so good!

A great day from start to.......about 10pm, when Catie took a ride on her "Heelies", pulled by Alexis and Cameron and ended up falling. We have just returned from the Emergency Room where she was "splinted" and returned to us. Bad sprain, no break...Thank God!
