The weather didn't cooperate quite as well as we'd hoped. We arrived late Friday night so tried to get started on the work Saturday morning. However we were greeted with rain all morning. This meant that younger and sprier guys (Ernest and David specifically) also couldn't go climbing around on barn roofs. So we all got to hang out and visit. Mom and I took Nicholann, Aleana, and Morgan into town to go shopping, leaving Ally and Jacob with the guys. Mom bought all three girls (plus Trinity, Allyson, and Jacob) clothes. It was quite interesting going shopping with them. I haven't done anything like that before!
We left the store and got in the drive through at McDonald's. I told the girls we couldn't go in because I had to get back to feed Jacob. So, we get in the l-o-n-g line and are 1 car from the speaker when Aleana pipes up and says she has to pee. Oh, Mom's face was funny. I pulled out of line, parked under the tree and left the car running, and Aleana and I went in to go to the bathroom and pick up the food.
We spent a lot of time visiting and playing. The guys did finally get to go outside and help dad with some projects, though they didn't get as much done as they wanted. We got to go to church with them which is always nice. Jacob had a great time playing with Grandma and Grandpa, and was full of smiles the whole time. The whole week leading up to our trip Ally kept talking about going to see Grandma and Grandpa (gets a little tricky because she says them both almost the same). She had fun with the kittens, puppies, chicks, chickens, horse, and goats. Along with walks along their road and going down the spring, picking flowers and helping pull weeds. And showing off her "shake" when she was wearing a skirt. Even a couple of weeks later she is still talking about all that she did that weekend and when we are going back.
