they're baaaaaaack.....

Made the exchange yesterday at our usual roadside park. From the sound of it, the kids had a terrific time, as always. Maybe Nana and Papa even had a good time--it sounded like they probably did. Although, I'm sure they'll enjoy the quiet--at least for a little while! Lance actually missed us, but the other two could stay gone forever, I think. Lance spent his break from the car climbing all over the picnic cover while the rest of us snacked and talked. Tyler gave me his usual snarl when I took his picture--nothing changes! Ha! Anyway, I'm glad to have them home. It's just not home without them here... which is painfully obvious by the gigantic messes everywhere. I barely had to do anything this week to keep the house in order--they're back for 5 minutes and it looks like a tornado came through...Oh well, someday I'll miss all the messes, right??? ;)




This last picture is something I've wanted to try since I saw the idea. When I saw the angle of the sun last night and all 5 of us were in the car together, I made them get out and try it--we weren't even home yet, but they were pretty good sports and did it anyway... It's funny--you can hardly tell which one is tyler and which is dave---i'm on the far right with the camera up to my face--tyler is next to me and david is second from the left in between lance and hadley. It didn't turn out exactly as I'd hoped--I may have to try it again sometime. If they'll do it again, that is!! LOL!
