Awake: 7:36am Temp 66 sleep 7+19 fog....sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
Kathy left early from the KK meeting to BAG noodles; this will be the final bagging for this year.
After our breakfast, we motored to the Foote Castle & spent about (5) hrs with the boys & some time with Kevin & Melissa. Most of our time was spent doing things in the backyard.
Matthew had made a paper airplane so he & I did a little flight testing until Kinley ate the plane.
Kevin had previously cleaned & organized the outside storage bldg, but today, most of the vehicles with wheels were scattered around in the back yard. I decided to line up all the bicycles, tricycles, etc; almost everything with wheels save for the adult vehicles.
One might think that this family is well off having such a distinguished collection. Well, not so! All of these items have been given to the Footes over time, save for (1). Also, all of the units fit into the storage bldg.
Other activities this afternoon: cleaning the inside of the Toyota Sienna Minivan. 1st Melissa & Andrew cleaned & vacuumed & then Kathy & Nathan took over. After the cleaning, Matthew drove Andrew, Nathan, & Kathy on a long pretend trip in the Mini Van to Wash., D.C. with several rest stops & even an overnight at a motel.
After that long pretend trip, Matthew & Andrew were obviously worn out, so I gave them a calm but short & bumpy wagon ride to wake them up a little.
Even Gregory enjoyed his bumpy wagon ride.
Next, out came (3) boys wearing just their under shorts (Melissa already had their swim suits packed). It was water works time. Each boy sort of had a turn with the hose & spraying any person was off limits; of course, there were times that the hose accidentally pointed in a wrong direction: Oops! Somebody is getting hosed!
Here we have Nathan & Gregory filling up the sedan with water for a long trip across the desert back yard.
Kevin went into work a few hrs early this morning so he could get some things done later today. 1st, he rode his bike to the Ford dealership to pick up the Ford Van, & then he took Kinley to the dog kennel for the weekend. Then Kevin transferred the necessary car seats from the Toyota Sienna to the Ford Van.
The Foote family will be motoring to Washington, D.C. early tomorrow morning for a weekend of visiting Kevin's sister, Billie & her husband. Meanwhile, I will drive the Toyota Sienna to Nicktown &, next week, take it in for inspection & if need be, they will fix a few glitches. We wished the Footes a bon voyage & a fun time & we each drove our respective vehicle back to Nicktown.
Then we changed clothes & each picked a good sized bowl of blueberries.
Dinner: Beef stew on rice, bread, Bing cherries & cantaloupe slices.
Lights out: 12:09am.
