It's always fun to have the grandchildren come visit. They all ~ including their parents ~ enjoy coming to the farm for a visit. I don't know who enjoys it more ~ them or us.
When seven grandkids converge on us at one time, our home turns into a zoo ~ in this Grandma's words. However, this past weekend, only three grandkids came, along with one daughter (their mother), one niece, and my mother. So for a change the adults outnumbered the grandkids, and instead of turning us into a zoo, we actually got time to go the zoo. Something I haven't done for a really long time.
It was so nice to sit idly and watch the three youngest grand kids enjoy the splash pad at the zoo for a half hour or so, then meander leisurely through the zoo ~ four generations enjoying time together. After a stop at the old neighborhood Dairy King for frozen chocolate covered bananas, we stopped at the park and playground. It's been a long time since I went down a slide!
It was an eventful day and an eventful weekend. It was easy, less hectic! But I couldn't help but feel that something was missing. Yes, the other four boys and their Dad. But they will all be coming again in July. I know we won't be making a return visit to the zoo ~ we will be the zoo! Oh, happy daze!
