August 1
The grandchildren and their parents came this evening. The parents stayed and had supper with us. The grandkids got the air mattresses fixed for bedding down in the living room floor. I don't know what time they finally got to sleep. Raiford and I slept like rocks.
August 2
Luke was the first one up. The others were slow getting started. At Gracie's request we had chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.
Grandad is doing the Bible time study from Proverbs. This morning we looked at verses dealing with integrity. Then the grandchildren were asked to tell what was most memorable about their summer.
A trek through the pastures was next on their agenda. They came in hot and sweaty and ready for a swim.
Gracie chose Black Meg burgers for lunch. They all agreed that they do indeed have the best burgers in town.
Then we were off to the Family Fun Center. Grandad had given each grandchild a $10 roll of quarters to exchange for game tokens. Believe me, $10 doesn't go very far in this place. After they had used up their tokens, Grandad bought tickets for them to do the laser tag. If we go back at some time in the future, I think they would probably prefer to do the laser tag twice instead of the games.
After a swim, Daniel and Luke went fishing while the rest of the kids played Rummikub.
Gracie and I made grilled cheese and pepperoni sandwiches for supper. We added carrots and bell peppers to round out the meal.
And then came the main event, making homemade ice cream. We enjoyed it while some watched Princess Bride and others played a game.
I think we're winding down now. Raiford and the boys are going to get up early in the morning to go fishing.
That's all for Day One. Signing off.
