Friday, Saturday and Goodbye

Friday morning we just hung out at the house... Playing

games. Paul and Grace got Colin a new game called

Banana-Grams for Christmas. We were hooked right away.

We played until time to go to Grandma's. We left our house

around 3pm and went to Grandma's. I fixed her hair and

did a few odd jobs for her and then we were off to

the Broadway Palm Theatre, in Mesa, for dinner and a show.

Sorry Vicki, I have no pictures for that. Pictures aren't

allowed because of copy right laws... Whatever!

We had a pretty decent meal and watched a live

performance of "Meet Me In St. Louis". It was fun.

Saturday was another morning of games.

Then we headed over to Paul and Bonieta's

for some fried chicken and family fun.

Here is Grandma Shuler and her FANTASTIC

fried chicken... YUM!

While waiting for the food, some of the kids played

Hacky-Sack (Is that how you spell it?)
This is the crazy guys doing some weird
dolphin dance because everyone had a
chance to kick the little sack before
hitting the ground.


Goof-balls!

After dinner (lunch) we brought out the Banana-Grams

and introduced the rest of the family to the fun game.

We even got Grandma and Papa in on the fun.

Aunt Marcy jumped in too...

Banana-Grams is a little like scrabble, but more fun.

This is a little frightening... The older I get the

more I look like my mother... Not that that is a bad

thing... My mother is a pretty lady, but I just feel/look older.
Notice I said, "older"... Not "old".

Nice...

Anita and Megan.

Tommy likes to play too. It's good for him...

It helps in his spelling and being able to make words

out of a pile of letters.

Here are every one's name that were involved

in this game at one point in time... Except for

"Bon Qui Qui".

Then the dreaded Sunday came...

A sad day... Paul and Grace had

to go home :-(

Some guy at the airport was kind enough

to take a picture of us before the kids took off.

Good looking bunch I think.

After they headed off to board their plane

we went outside to see if we could see them one

more time... We miss them already.

Even dad is sad.

Here's the Fam getting one last look, through the fence.

We had a great week with Paul and Grace. We are so

thankful they were able to come spend some time with us.

Now it is our turn to go visit them... But it will have

to be sometime in August, when it is hot here and nice there.
