Bryan's Family Comes to Town Day 5

December 2, 2009 Wednesday

Today, Daka, Grumpy, all the grandkids, Craig, Christine, Carmel and Darren all went on a field trip, while Porsche packed at her house and Candy cleaned at her house.
I don't have many pictures for today, but some of the ones I do have are lots of fun!

The field trip was to the Boeing Flight Museum. They met up with Bryan for lunch at Red Robin and then they all went to the museum. It is an awesome museum. It sounded like they all had a blast.
They all came to our house to quickly pack up their stuff and off we went for the rest of the week at Candy and Steve's house. When we arrived, Candy had made pizza for everyone. We ate quickly and then headed out for Wednesday night Bible Study. (Brad and Esther met us at Bible study. It was great to be together at Bible study. We all enjoyed chatting with Nancy and Gary after meeting, and we asked if we could come back to their property on Saturday to take family pictures. They assured us we were welcome, and after a lot more visiting we headed back to Candy and Steve's house.
Dewey arrived and Candy and Steve's around midnight, or later. While we were waiting for them, Daka and Grumpy went to bed, so the rest of us looked at the photo albums Candy had made for their 35th anniversary. With Dewey now here, that meant everyone had arrived! There was a lot more goofing off, and then we all went to sleep.

WARNING Christine and Daka may need smelling salts before they look at the first 2 pictures. Also, please note that these photo's have NOT been photo shopped, retouched or faked.

Craig is washing spoons and bowls for us to use for breakfast.

Since I could not believe my eyes, I took a 2nd pictures just to verify it was Craig, in the kitchen, at the sink, washing dishes. Hooray for Craig!

Everyone came home, we packed up and left for Candy and Steve's, had a pizza dinner, went to meeting, and then came back to Candy and Steve's.

Bryan was great with all the kids. It was cool to see him sitting in the living room, playing different games with them all! They all adored him!

(The game they are playing here is Snorta. It is a funny game involving animal sounds!)

Brad and Polly come over for a little bit.

Ice Cream. Need I say more?!?

Casper and Kip.

Kip was so patient, and just totally great playing with Casper!

Most people are now in bed at this point, when. . .

Dewey arrives! The brothers are soooo happy to see each other!

I can't believe that they are posing "normally" for a picture. . . .

Well, that didn't last long, now it is time for crazy balancing ideas

Now Bryan gets in on it!

TaDa! Dewey is holding up his brothers!

Looking at the photo Albums Candy created for Daka and Grumpy's anniversary. All the siblings kept those of us just married into the family in stitches as they told us stories of how they knew the people in the pics or how they were all related, or what they remembered of the people when they were kids.
Good Night!
