On Sunday the kids and I went straight to my mom's house from church. We spent about 8 hours! We were all there - Mom, Charlie, Kara, Chad, Hunter, Graysen, and I. We helped her prepare lunch and then a little bit later more family joined us - Grandma, Sara, Jeremy, Jonas, and Lincoln. Char grilled for us, hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage - mom had fresh tomatoes from her garden, chips, coleslaw, deviled eggs, it was all awesome!
We spent the remainder of the afternoon and evening visiting, and playing with the kids. We snacked on ice cream bars, cheesecake, and poppers. We played a rousing game of "keep away". It started as family vs. family, but eventually turned into boys vs. girls of course! We had balls rolling under tables, and bouncing off of walls and ceilings (Charlie's doing of course)! I was sure a lamp was going to get broken or something, but alas, everything stayed in tact.
(Another awesome thing about my mom - she totally has a kid-proof house...definitely not one of the grandma's houses that you're afraid to take your kids to because she has to many breakables!)
I love seeing my kids interact with my family. I love how Charlie just fits. I love how we can visit and entertain the kids at the same time. I love how my mom will change Graysen's diaper so that Lincoln and I don't get in a fight. (ha ha)
I love making memories!

Sounds great! :o)
I love going to Mom's too. It's been my escape from our remodel project this summer. I'll pack up on Saturday morning and not come home til Sunday! It's been nice for Alexis to get to spend that much time with them since they don't like right next door like Ross' parents do! And it's a wonderful get away for me too! My mom is my best friend!!
Sounds like you enjoyed it almost as much as I did!!!
