I spent a lot of this week with my daughter and her children while her husband was away in Honduras on a mission trip.
We picked up pecans, pockets full of them.
We fed chickens, and Dino chased chickens. "I chased the bok-boks!" he squealed over and over.
We played in the treehouse.
Stumped toes were kissed by Angel Eyes.
Some did a little swinging.
We played farm.
And beautiful bits of nature delighted us in unexpected places.
I tried to sneak in a moments rest whenever I could, but with five little ones around one doesn't do anything solitary.
Which is okay, because with so many around one is always surrounded by love.
I enjoyed this post and your pictures so much. It looks like you had a lot of fun and I just adore what you got up to. I love seeing kids out and about doing actual things!
ReplyDeleteIt doesnt sound like you missed the privacy and time to yourself one little bit!
I'm so glad they live in a place where they can get outside and totally be kids, and I'm glad their parents encourage it. They kept me laughing with their crazy antics, their last game was creating a gourmet pet diner where they came up with elaborate dishes (mud pies) for the critters. Their imaginations had us pretending the pecans were golden nuggets, and the swing set a pirate ship. They almost had me believing I could keep up with them, but alas, reality set in, and my body kept screaming my age to me. (although, I got the message it is still screaming today.)
