Day 5

Playdough time at the table.  Lots of cool creations.

A little second cousin time.  mmmmm Hot dogs.

Massive pile of leaves.  Very deep.  We only lost 2 kids.

Checking out the new bakery.  Very nice.

I use to be a lot taller than Kenzie... hummmmm

Checking out the biscotti coming out of the oven.

Searching the grounds for stain glass from the old pine board monastery.   A lot of fresh glass noted... some seeding taking place trying to grow some larger pieces.

Boys

more boys.

Girl

Boys in trees.... one larger boy than expected.

Nothing like running around with some bamboo.  No eyes lost but maybe a head or hand knocked around.

Going for a walk down the new bike trail.

Walking the bike trail to the new bridge that goes over the road.

The infamous Georgia snapping turtles crossing the trails.  Uncle Dee lost a couple of arms.

Cruising down the trail.  Kenzie was carried more than Eli I think.  hahaha.. 

Kenzie and Eli being goofy as always.

Another day in GA.  Good times are being had by all,  nice relaxing day. Went for a walk with Uncle Dee to see the new bakery and look around for glass where the old monastery use to stand.... seeded glass mostly but Kenzie did find a nice piece of blue old style glass.  We hiked around the pond and picked up some nice pieces of bamboo for the ride home. All the boys and Kenzie got one and no one was fatally wounded.   Abbot Francis Michael acme to visit as well as Barry and Pat.  Peter Damion came as well and had some pie.  two pieces actually.   The boys Kimmy, Kenzie, myself and Uncle Dee went for a walk down the new bike path.  Lots of GA snapping turtles were crossing the road, we helped a few across the path.  Some then bit off Uncle Dee's arms and ears, then his mouth. It was amazing.   Kenzie and I have been picking on each other constantly.  It's been a riot.  Beware of the llama.  Kimmy tweaked her knee playing soccer.. poor Kimmy.  But she is feeling better.

Day 4

Nolan, Jacob, Adam and Eli playing a game Nolan brought along.  They all really enjoyed playing together.  Lots of good times.

Down by the lake shore enjoying the geese and trying to keep Adam's feet dry.  I wonder where he gets that.

Uncle Dee showing the group the alter at the church.  Some really cool decorations.

Touring the grounds of the monastery.  Uncle Dee is showing the boys where his room is at.

Checking out the slow slow moving gold fish in the frozen pond inside the court yard.  No one fell in.  whew.

Rolling down hills, watch out for the chestnuts and fire ants.  Climbing the chestnut tree.

A little rumble on the soccer field.  Feeling old.

Some good soccer games... adults outlasted the kids.   as the kids slowly pealed off the adults kept playing.

Heather brought some really cool crafts for the kids to make.  Boys really enjoyed it.

Nice matching flannels.  Photo bomb.  Looking serious...right before the battle of the llama and ostrich.

Blocks for another generation.  Nice area behind the couch for the boys to play.

Jacob with Br. Martin's gift.  Br.Martin promised Jacob a gift if he tried the egg rolls.  Jacob is really glad he did.  He loves egg rolls.

Chilling on the couch with Uncle Dee.  Or as Kenzie would say her Great Uncle Dee in law.
