Wyatt joining us for a tonk game:)

Eli's store

It was warm in the house this morning.  The boys watched Garfield and Jared went into town to get our Sat goodies.  I worked on getting camping things cleaned and organized.  It was such a hot day.  After lunch we all went swimming and had fun playing games in the pool.  Jared, Adam and I went to Kohl's to get flip flops for Jared.  We also stopped to get a pool filter and chemicals from Walmart.  Nik came over to swim but I had just shocked the pool.  We played a game of dice and Nik won.  Eli set up a store in our bedroom and I did some shopping there.  After dinner we went outside and took a walk in the woods.  Adam and Eli played in the sandbox with the hose.  We sat on the swing for awhile.  The boys took care of the sheep before going inside.

The boys watched some Garfield this morning.  I drank my coffee and then went for a walk in the woods.  The boys took care of their sheep and then we played a game of 3-13.  We listened to Jacob's music while playing.  After lunch we went swimming.  It was a warm day today.  Nik came over and the boys played in the pool for an hour.  Then they went to Nik's house and played outside with army men in the sand.  Jared came home early from work.  We were sitting on the deck and Adam came back before his brothers.  He cooled off in the little pool on the deck.  After dinner Nik came back and the boys spent a couple hours playing in the pool.  Jared and I took a walk in the woods and then sat on the swing for a long time.  Wyatt sat on the swing with us.  The boys helped us empty the trailer so we could get things ready for camping.

Jacob's new glasses

The boys slept in this morning.  Eli was first up and crawled on my lap next to Wyatt.  Adam had gotten up but fell asleep in the chair.  The boys watched Garfield on tv.  I went for a walk in the woods.  We played a game of Uno and then dice.  I was 4th winner in both games.  After lunch the boys worked with their sheep and then we went for a swim.  This afternoon Jacob had an eye dr appointment.  Stopped at the store for a few groceries and got home around 5:00.  Jared got home just after us.  The boys played the computer.  After dinner they went to Nik's house for an hour.  Then Nik came over and they played in the pool.  Jared and I took a walk in the woods and sat on the swing.  Then we put a coat of waterproofing on the camping trailer.  The boys took care of their sheep before going inside.

Went to the campground this morning.  It was a rainy day today.  We sat under the awning and visited.  The kids rode bike and played in the screen tent.  We also played some card games.  Went swimming in the rain and then went to the indoor pool.  It stopped raining around 5:00 and we went for a walk before heading home.

Wyatt went for a swim

"Did I get all the mud off my face?"

Mom and Dad drove up from Indianapolis for the weekend. They arrived about 2:30 Friday afternoon.  They got to meet Wyatt.  Mom and Dad brought up lots of new plants and a wonderful walnut tree.  We worked on planting the wide variety of plants in the flowerbed and in the woods as well.  Dad had fun spoiling Wyatt with little pieces of poptarts.  It’ll be interesting to see if Wyatt remembers that.  Wyatt certainly wagged his tail a lot.  We had a lot of fun playing Uno with rules Jacob brought back from band camp.  It allows you to add draw 4s and draw twos in a row sticking someone with drawing a ton of cards.  Its really funny.  Grandma seem to want to make up her own rules with putting random cards on the pile. For some reason a Red Skip was placed on a green 2.  or Red draw 2’s were to be played on green 2’s.  It was quite funny.  We had a nice fire and some smores as well.  Wyatt managed to snag a marshmallow from the staging area.  He’s quick.   We dug up some sensitive fern from mom to take back to Indiana.  She brings up 14 plants we send back 1.  Seems about right.  We have lots of really nice plants in our flower garden.  Lots of Indiana transplants over the years.   Mom disappeared Sunday afternoon in the van and came back with some nice hanging baskets and some really nice annuals for our pot by the back steps.  The pansy’s she planted back in april survived the snow and ice but it was time for something new in the pot.  Monday morning they headed back to Indianapolis. Wyatt will miss those small pieces of poptart i’m sure.
