We’re back from Clinton. We had a wonderful time for the most part, mared by only a few small details.
Everyone was there by Friday afternoon except for my dad, who had to work all week. We were sorry he wasn’t there, but we still all had a great time. It was wondeful to have all the grandkids together in one place to play.
Other than Dad not being there, only two things got in the way of it being a completely wondeful week. Mom got sick on Wednesday and had to spend the day in bed, and the same thing happened to Kate Friday night, and she spent that night and Saturday in bed.
The kids had a wondeful time playing together, inside and outside. My parents have a wonderful place for kids to play outside. Plenty of room for everyone. We had all sorts of stuff out there for them to play with. Baseballs, soccer balls, golf clubs, things to ride. It was a wondeful time. Inside was fun too, with lots of toys for the kids to play with together and seperately.
The food was wondeful as always. We took turns doing some of the cooking this year so Mom didn’t have so much to do. Dene made a chicken green bean casserole that was delicious. Joey and Cheryl made buffalo wings for lunch one day. Kate made taco salads one night. Mom did most of the cooking for Thanksgiving proper, but didn’t have to do all the work herself. It all seemed to turn out very well.
We all had a good time.
