Last week Gordon and Trisha left the kiddies with us while they went to San Diego for their 10 year anniversary. We had quite the busy litle house but it was all worth it. The kids were really great a few arguments here and there but no major break downs. They bunked up with me so it pretty much was a free for all where we slept. In the evenings Jake and I would take them to the park to give the grandparents some quiet time and to release some energy before bed. They went with Grandpa and Grandma on Wednesday to Annmarie's to watch Kendall and go swimming. Thursday was my day with the kids and I kept them very busy. We started off the morning by seeing G Force. At first I was only going to take Madison, Landon, and McKinley. When Kennedy saw us all getting ready to leave she came to me and said, "Ceesa I go movie too" oh how could I resist such a sweet plea. They were all great in the movie with a little bit of sugar they were set. We picked up some lunch at McDonalds and then headed to the Littleton Historical Museum with Margie and her kids. This place has the history of the town of Littleton but we spent most of our time on the farms. We saw donkeys, cows, turkeys, pigs, and chickens. Then home for a little relaxation and quiet time. That night Jake and I took Madison, Landon, and McKinley to Jump Street. This place has about 8 long trampolines lined up next to each other and you just go to town jumping. There is a trampoline and air jumpers for the litle kids plus a area to play dodge ball. We stayed for 2 hours and what a work out that was. I forgot the camera but it was a lot of fun. On Friday night we made homemade vanilla ice cream and made our own sundaes. Saturday came to fast and it was time for the family to load up and head home to Utah.
I really enjoyed having them around and now the house is so quiet and almost boring. The week went by so fast and I learned so much about each of the kids. Madison is very motherly and loves to help out. Landon loved hitting the wiffle ball, he became very good at it. McKinley is a talker but it was so fun to listen to her. Kennedy is soft spoken but can definetly get her feelings across when she needs to. And they all have a great sense of humor I do not think I have laughed so much. So this might sound weird but thanks Gordon and Trisha for letting me spend this time with them. I miss being around and seeing them grow up.
