Vacation: Part 3

(Yes, I'm skipping Part 2 for now)

We got home from Indianapolis and drove straight to my parents' house, where my THREE NIECES were visiting!

Innocent running-around-fun
...turned into a skirmish when the kids commandeered the garden hose from Grammy.  She paid for that mistake with a major drenching. 

A trip to the Childrens Museum with ALL the grandchildren.

Which child do you suppose most enjoyed the magnet-tiles?

Hmmm...
The older "boys" did seem to enjoy themselves.
Back at home, these three had fun
... that was magnified when M, A, and M joined us!
(Sorry about Mallory's pose.  You try getting a decent shot of 7 little ones.)









At one point I went upstairs because G was hollering.  Turns out that the girls had placed a bouncer at the bedroom door: "No, G, you can't come in.  Only GIRLS can come in because we're changing clothes.  The girls are nak&d in there."  G was NOT happy with the discrimination.  But what ensued was glorious - a parade of princesses.  Molly was there coaching (in a highbrow English accent): "Chins up, ladies.  Graceful.  Remember that you are princesses."  Oh my.












The young ladies are back to their own castles now. 
And us, we're back to video games & trains.
