The kids had so much fun on the 4th meeting our friends grandchildren. I think Nathan felt like he already knew them as much as we hear about them. Bailey and Claire hit it off right away. Bailey took Claire from place to place making sure she was having a good time. She even took her in the house to see the cat. Here is Bailey on the rope swing. I know it looks scary as all get out, but when you are standing by it watching the kids, it's not near as bad.

As I said before, Natey wasn't sure of this contraption when we got there. It took him about 2 1/2 hours to decide that he wanted to try it. Once he tried it he was hooked. Here is a video of him on the rope swing.



I should have brought the kids swimming suits, but decided that with the castle they'd probably not want to swim. Wrong! Nathan ended up getting in the pool with his regular shorts on. It took some coaxing, but he did it. Then, of coarse, when Nathan took off his shirt, Claire wanted her shirt off too. However, Claire didn't have a 'shirt' on, she was wearing a dress. She HAD to have it off. It wasn't worth a fight, so I took off her dress. She was running around like she owned the place - in her diaper. I told our friend Joe that I decreased the property value by letting her do that. Ha! Yeah - getting her dress back on was a HUGE fight.

When it was time to go, Bailey and her brother, Hunter, decided they wanted to hold Jack. Look at Jack in this picture. He thinks Hunter is some kind of funny!You would too if Hunter looked at you like this! It was cute watching them interact.
We couldn't leave without Bailey taking a turn holding Jack. It's a serious job as you can tell by the look on her face.

As you can see, the kids were having a great time.

This is Carri holding Jack. She's Hunter and Bailey's mom. I love this picture. Carri is such a sweet, kind, gentle person. Can't you just tell by the picture? It oozes from her. We had such a fun time!
