Mosaic's Family Day
 |
| Mister with all five of his grandbabies. |
They had alot for the kids to do. They had a great almost new playground, that Gary and the rest of the sibs all complained about. Things along the line of "why didn't they have one of these when we were kids" or "this would have made it way better when we were coming." It was a really nice playground, and in addition to all the regular play things, they also had a basketball shooting game and a bounce house there for the day. The big kids played basketball some, while the little kids played on the bounce house. Lilli as always had no fear, she was the first to scale it (even with no one for her to have watched), and she convinced Britt to come along, even though he wouldn't have on his own. He got stuck at the top and Momma had to come and rescue him.
They had BBQ chicken and ribs, hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch. We all ate great, even if the kids were too excited with everything they could see and hear to eat much. The girls went to dance with the dj, and let me tell you Julia has the best dance moves, she was cracking me up. Lilli dances all crazy with all this raw energy (like everything else she does). Gary and I took all 5 of them on the hay ride while everyone else finished eating
After the hayride, James and Heather entered the cornhole toss tournament. They ended up finishing 5th. They apparently had the right idea, according to Gary, because they got a kid free afternoon while we chased the oldest four around, and Memaw watched a sleeping Ruth. Gary says we are totally doing that next year. We had a good time watching them though. The first stop was for face painting. The wait in line took FOREVER. Really, I'm completely serious. It was mostly I stood in line, while the others took turns walking with different kids to burn some energy. Brystal was the only one that waited the whole time. She stood right at the table as still as could be and watched each of the 9 children in front of her. Lilli on the other hand would flit over, lay all over the poor lady doing the face painting and then run off again. Julia and Britt took turns either laying in the stroller or running in circles on the bridge nearby.
Brystal and Lilli both chose to be a princess, so they had crowns painted on their foreheads and glitter put on the cheeks. Julia picked cherries for her hand. Britt once again did something that he probably would have never done, if he hadn't watched Lilli go first. He decided he wanted his face painted too, and choose Spiderman. (The one and only superhero he knows, and he can't stop talking about, which is just a little ironic when you think about it. He has no idea what Spiderman does or anything about him, except what he looks like.) We had a great time, though I for one was wore out and hot when we left to go home. The kids must have felt likewise because after a quick bath they took a 2 hour nap.
