Jessica brought the kids down for the weekend to get another visit in before school begins next month! It's hard to believe we are thinking about school again already! It seems they just broke for summer vacation! She got in late Thursday night and left Sunday afternoon! It was a nice visit! And since Elisabeth lives closer to us now, we got to see them lots, too!
Friday, Elisabeth and the kids came over. The kids messed around in the woods and also wanted to do some painting. I helped by drawing a few characters on some of the canvases. I fixed a late lunch of sloppy joes, mac n cheese, baked beans and tater tots. Elisabeth had to leave around 3 because their church was having VBS last week. Jessica's kids wanted to go home with her and they all went to VBS, then spent the night with the cousins. Jessica, Mark and I played Rummikub at the house.
Saturday, Jessica went to Elisabeth's and they took the kids swimming for a couple of hours. Afterwards, Elisabeth took her kids home to get dressed and Jessica and kids came back here to the house. I had pizza fixed for them. They did some more painting before Liz and family came over. It rained off and on. We planned to eat hotdogs at the fire pits and let the kids ride the Palmer's 4-wheeler. Fortunately, the rain did not mess up those plans. Later, before it got too late, Liz and Brad took all of the kids back to the house so everyone could get showers for church.
Noah spent the weekend with us. His mom went out of town for the weekend so he had to take care of the dogs at his house. Plus he is working part time now, so Mark took him to work and picked him up as needed, so he didn't get to go swimming or spend as much time with the kids as he would have liked to. He had to spend the nights at our house instead of with the rest of the kids.
Sunday, the Sheriff of Davidson County, Richie Simmons, was our speaker in the morning services. Brad and Elisabeth planned to come and listen to him since they are new residents of Davidson County. But, Elisabeth was sick all night with fever and chills, so she stayed home as everyone else came to church. She watched on line. Mr. Simmons did a wonderful job. The Parks family was together for the weekend, so they sang specials during the service.
After the service, we all went to Zaxby's for lunch and then everyone parted ways. Another wonderful weekend with family!
