Family Fun

October 28th, 2007

This past week and weekend have been an absolute blast! My brother Brian drove down from upstate N.Y. with his family, sister Joy flew out from Colorado with hers, and Sharon (my only sister who lives nearby) and her kids visited almost everyday to be with everyone – almost all my family were together again!

We had a full house most of the time (ten grandkids to be exact), but it was great! Many a game of extreme Boggle were played, games of Spit, Aggravation, and ERS. (we’re big on card games, especially fast ones) We had movie nights, a wedding to attend, the Farewell Concert on Sunday, a walk through the woods, knitting (I taught that to Joy, who mournfully related to me that she was the only one in her Mom’s group who couldn’t knit), and lots of laughs. :-)

Brian and Tina left us Monday evening, and Joy and Kenny, early Thursday morning. I was sad to see them go, but we had a splendid visit together. God blessed us with such a wonderful, lovely time of fellowship and fun. Check out the pictures!

Here there be comments...

    I don’t know about Boggle, but we did have some competitive games of “Scroggle!” The pics came out great!!

    You’re right! I stand corrected, allow me to adjust: ‘we had games of Scroggle!’ :-)

    Katelyn is lovely. I wish I had gotten more of a chance to fraternize with your family while they were here. Ah well. Such is life. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum….
