On Thursday we got up at 4am and drove into town to stay for the weekend with the grands. Tim and Kristy were traveling to Orlando for Tim's meetings and Kristy's chance for a bit of relaxation by the pool.
I have been teaching several of the grands to do stained glass and told the youngest that when they are nine years old, that they could start too. Sarah and Lydia have been wanting their chance to try their hand at making stained glass and had patterns chosen and cut out. By the time the weekend drew to a close, we had completed four more windows and Keliah had started a fifth. It was fun to see all of the activity and to learn the whole process and find out the parts that each liked or disliked. We also managed to do school and piano practise.
Since we were working, we also had to play some too. HW2 took several trips to the store with various grands and one day some had lunch out at HyVee and so the rest of us had to do it a bit later too. HW2 cooked chicken fried steak for one night. Another, was a pizza and movie night and one night we went out to eat at a Japanese restaurant where they cooked the food right in front of us all. In addition, we played cards and generally had a good time although cleaning closets was not viewed favorably.
Since we might not get to do this again for awhile, we thoroughly enjoyed our time with the grands and if we spoiled them a bit, that is the duty dand pleasure of grandparents.
After Church and Sunday School their parents arrived back from their trip and we all sat down to a Sunday dinner together. Then, we packed up the car and drove back to our motor home. it was a good weekend.
