Awake: 6:50am Temp 59 sleep 7+09 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
After 8:00am Mass, K & I had breakfast @ the church hall & joined Bernie & Lori @ their table to discuss home building & a few other topics. These church hall breakfasts are usually the same but the social opportunities are different each & every time.
Back @ our motorhome, I vacuumed the inside of our Suzuki & cleaned the battery terminals under the hood + added a smidgen of water to the battery.
Kathy did (1) load of laundry before we left to visit the Foote Family. When we arrived, like clockwork, Kevin was busy making dinner & the rest of the family was on the 2nd floor where each was playing with something, save for Melissa; she kept a sharp eye on everything that moved.
It wasn't long until the gang proceeded to the 3rd floor & there the sweet donuts the boys ate after Mass in the church basement, may have started the eruption? Matthew was tired due to attending a play last night & didn't get to bed as early as usual; Andrew was doing a little overacting whenever Matthew did a little tiny thing that Andrew normally would have ignored... & Nathan, I have never seen him act so wild & scream so loudly. Guess what boy was the calm & cool one? Gregory of course! He remained the calm & cool one throughout the day.
Melissa solved the ruckus upstairs by taking Matthew & Andrew downstairs & reading them a few books. Kathy & Nathan continued to play on the 3rd floor a little longer. After that, except for Nathan who remained a bit hyper, things went much smoother.
Kevin called for the light dinner meal of eggs & toast & chocolate peanut butter smoothies; we chose to have small bowls of homemade potato cheese soup with our smoothies.
Then it was out to the back yard where Melissa & Kevin had rigged up their sliding board & pool so that the boys could go soaring into their plastic pool. I thought it was a cool idea, especially during a hot day.
My small contribution to all of this was to give each boy, not Gregory, a water balloon to cannonball, not each other, but down the slide into the pool.
Regardless of a few minor fusses, we still enjoyed hanging out with our grandchildren & of course, Melissa & Kevin.
Back @ our motorhome, we Skyped with Nick for (53) min. Most of the topic was spent on Nick's description of a house for sale that they had toured today in Queen Anne. Eriko said it was the best one yet of all the prior houses they looked at so far; but she is not ready to buy.
Late evening movie: "The Wizard of OZ. We watch ½.
Lights out: 12:13am.
