Celeste (Renata and Abel's mom) told me a couple weeks ago that there was a new "toy" for us to enjoy, turns out it was a rope ladder that required immense skill and balance to climb. After Tim showed us his dexterity, we all tried it out. Then, it started to rain which only added to the dilemma of climbing the ladder. This resulted in multiple falls and possible bruises, but we had a blast!
We brought the kiddos two fake talking cameras, Finding Nemo and Hannah Montana, which they LOVED. They carried them around throughout the house and yard, and "took pictures" of everything. Especially, when Tim (their dad) whipped out our FAVORITE "toy," his potato gun. We all tried it out and shot potatoes all the way across the yard (and beyond!).
Highlight of the visit was when I asked Renata if she was having a good day. "Yes," she replied, "My friends came to visit me!"
As always, leaving was tough. Understandably so, after all the excitement of hiking around with the kids, a home-cooked meal, playing outside, the football game, buck-eyes (peanut-butter covered chocolate deliciousness) and more. But, we'll be seeing them at the Family Carnival, if not sooner!
