Grandparent Camp

Luca and Vincent arrived on Friday.  Their mom and dad stayed for supper and then took off to KC to stay at the airport motel as they had a 6 AM flight to Portland, OR.  The boys were up at 6:30 and it has been non stop all day.  While I was at the beauty salon getting my hair done, John played ball with the boys and then took them on a hike thru the woods behind our house. They watched TV while they ate lunch and John and I tried to rest up for the afternoon fun.

I got out my ‘Experiment Kit’ and we played mad scientist by exploding the lid off of film canisters and recording the results. We timed how long it took to blow the top off and then how far the canister would shoot out of a tube and then we tried to shove a toy car down the driveway with an exploding canister.  About that time the heat was just too much so we met the RJ Lindstrom family at the country club pool and cooled off in the water for a couple of hours. 

Pizza for supper with Liam and Ella at their house and RJ shooting off leftover fireworks at dusk rounded out our day.  We are pooped and its only been one day!!  7 more to go!
