Games, games, games! Everyday each family got to choose what activities that we were going to do for the day. The benefits of having all the grand kids within a 7 year range is that all the activities every family choose was fun for all of them. There were treasure hunts, a talent show, bubble blowing, coloring, duck duck goose, water balloons, a birthday party, (Devin turned 6!) beading and a family Olympics. (The Olympics was chalk full of silly games like 'the bummy walk' and 'cookie face' all thanks to Robbyn and her list of their yearly family Olympics.) The grand kids were all in kid paradise for a week and I think all the parents were pretty much exhausted by the end of it. Too much fun? Impossible.

Here they are...our crazy kiddies about to embark on their week-o-fun.

Off on a treasure hunt.

Even the triplets got to find a hint (with a little help.)

Steamroller. Need I say more?

Talent show. Anna was getting a little brotherly help.

The hand slap game. We also got the same group playing spoons which worked better than I thought it would with that age.

The bummy walk. Rob was the winner with the boys and Arianne kicked butt in with the girls. The kids run was just a load of little cheaters...using their hands and feet. I think they were all disqualified.

Water balloon time. (Do you see Rob joining the fray with the bucket of water? Miraculously he was struck with a wave of self-restraint and nobody got dumped on. A lot of feet got pretty soaked, though.

Talent night with the Levi, Cole & Jet and Jennifer singing itsy bitsy spider.

Devin's birthday. He's in the blue hat.

Some of the birthday crew with Arianne.
