There were so many fun times last weekend! The kids loved being able to ride their bikes around the neighborhood. The houses were pretty empty in our neighborhood, so the kids pretty much could ride all over the place without worrying about cars. We also had fun celebrating Mom's birthday. We played pickle ball several times, including a family tournament with 15 of us playing. Conner and Drew were nicknamed "The Skins," and McKenzie was nicknamed "Snick" because she ate a Snickers bar while playing (I think she had 4-5 Frozen Snickers bars over the weekend - Aunt Amy even bought her one after I had told her no more! :) During our Pickle Ball tournament, Dad dove for a ball, fell, and got pretty banged up (and later found out that he cracked his rib!), but he was quite the trooper the rest of the vacation and didn't complain one bit! Mom organized lots of "Minute to Win It" games, including balancing apples, catching marshmallows in cups, blowing bubbles through hoops, and moving cotton balls from plate to plate with vaseline-covered noses. Jim almost got whiplash trying to get his cotton balls off his nose. We had lots of great laughs.
