COUSINS CAMP 2012 -- Friday

The last day of cousins camp.  It was a lazy sort of day.  Horseshoes,  bean bag toss, swimming, and swinging in the hammock.
Nancy and David came about 10:30, so we had time for a good visit with them.  We had chicken spaghetti for lunch, and then more of the same -- just hanging out.  For supper we went to the local barbecue joint.
The Bullards had the Suburban loaded and were ready to go by 8:30, but they waited until Gary and Shannon arrived.  They had enough time for howdys and hugs before they took our grandsons and headed for Bluff Dale.
Gary and Shannon spent the night, so we had time for a good visit with them too.  After breakfast on Saturday, they loaded their Suburban with a mountain of girl stuff, took our granddaughters and headed for Bryan.
The house is now entirely too quiet.  We loved having the sound of kids in the house.  We loved their laughter.  Expected their pranks.  And were blessed by the way they interacted.  We are grateful for the time we can spend with them.
And we are thankful that their parents allow us to have this time with our grandchildren.  It is a priceless gift.
