The Old Saying...

You know the old saying..."when the cat's away, the mice will play?"  

Quinten, Kate and Paige left today for Wisconsin AND...

Let the games begin,

After a morning of playing games we decided we needed to go on a walk to the local "On The Run" gas station so Kendall and I could get our Diet-Coke and the kids could have an Icee.  The boys are really good on their bikes.  They stopped at every parking lot entrance along the way and waited for us to catch up; very safe bikers.  

After we got back we had to put the partying on hold so the boys could go to their swim lessons.  They are both fishes and are doing very well.  Tyson swam across the eight lane pool on his back.

After a lunch trip to Wendy's, the kids decided to play a game of "Butterfly."  This elephant-shaped machine blows butterflies out of its trunk and they have to catch them in their nets.  It is quite a game.

Then onto Walmart for some dinner groceries, 

but the arcade drew us in.

Tyson is a real biker!  Sam couldn't wait for his turn.

Sam really tried, but the bike was a bit large for him.

Rhaegan just enjoyed watching and riding in the fish.

But we couldn't shop until we had an ice-cream cone at McDonalds.

The day couldn't end without another dip in the pool.

We are all going to bed early tonight.  Not only are we exhausted but the boys have their last soccer games starting at 8:30 in the morning.  The question is..."Will grandma make it to Tuesday?"
