A Weekend with the Little Monsters

Last Friday, Lyndy dropped off the 3 grand kids off at our house for the weekend.  Shortly after, Lyndy and Dan left for Eureka Springs and a short 4 day mini-vacation.  Interestingly enough, the grand children thought that a couple days with Nana, Papa (and Aunt Bubba), followed by a couple more days with Mimi and Papa, as a vacation.  For our two days with the grand kids, we had a few plans for them.  Friday evening we went to Culver's for hamburgers and frozen yogurt.  All 3 kids were in bed by 9PM and we had little trouble getting them to sleep.

Saturday morning began earlier than most Saturdays as the sound of little feet awoke the adults just after 5AM.  That's okay, I naively thought.  We'll just wear them out today and make them beg and plead for bedtime tonight. 

Saturday was a rare perfect summer day in Kansas City, so we left early for the local park.  The grand kids played on all the equipment, expending energy with each minute.  By lunch we decided that is was a good morning's wear down, so we took them to the Dollar Store and then lunch at Wendy's.  The afternoon was spent mainly outside playing.  Watching them run and wrestle convinced me they would soon be tired.

By Saturday evening the grandparents were spent.  The grand kids motored on.  I don't think they can wear down.  We did get a few good pictures before handing them off to their other set of grandparents.
