It started off pretty standard. Breakfast, I finally washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen, then time for showers, baths and getting ready.
Then, greatness commenced. Today was Game Day. Every summer my dad's family gets together at my grandparents' house for Game Day. We have a croquet tournament (it amazes me how few people know how to play croquet!), have all kinds of outdoor games for people to play, horribly unhealthy snacks to devour, and water fun for the kids. It's just a day for all of us to spend together, outside, catching up and having a great time. The girls had so much fun playing with the other kids, and it was a great day with the family. To top it off, I ended up winning the tournament this year :) It came down to me and my dad, and I won! Yes, go me!
The girls didn't take a nap today, and were EXHAUSTED from their busy day of fun...they passed out before we even got to the highway, and went straight to bed when we arrived home. Christian and I were pretty exhausted ourselves, and have another busy day tomorrow, so we decided to take it easy tonight. He passed out on the couch shortly after we arrived home, and I wasn't too far behind.
GREAT DAY, and here are some pictures to prove it!
My grandparents have always had a wooden swing in the backyard. Everybody LOVES that swing. We got a picture of all of the great-grandkids on it today, and I knew I had seen a similar picture before...I went digging through their photo albums, and sure enough, found one of me and my cousins. The two youngest weren't born yet (though, there may be one with them in it that I couldn't find), but I thought it was pretty cool. Carrying on tradition, warms my heart. Love my family, and love that we get to spend this time together.
