All the school age grandchildren had President's Day off so we planned another cousin = friends get together. I made the circuit and picked them all up on Friday. Saturday Grandpa broke out the marine surplus parachute and the kids (except Kade) loved it. First they ran with it and then once it was inflated the kids would duck under it and let it collapse on them. When they got tired of that they spread it out over the trampoline frame and played under it for a while. After they were tired of that, Clark strung a line from the fort to the swing set and made a tent. Kade was OK with that.
Later that day we went for a little hike. This rock was a little slick, but with a little (OK, a lot) of Grandpa help we got them all situated for a photo. 
Bless their little hearts, they get so tired of Grandma (and Grandpa) aiming a camera at them. I have no memories of my grandparents so I guess I try to over do so even if they don't actually remember the activity, there will be photo documentation that we did do things together. 
After the hike we took the kids back to the house and had lunch. We put Kade down for a nap and I took the others to the Jumpin' Jivin' (inflatable toys) House. We've gone several times and I forgot the camera every time. They do enjoy that. One of these times I'll remember the camera (much to their dismay, I'm sure).
