What a great weekend

The party for the boys was this past Saturday, and it was great. My Dad came from Kansas to be a part of the celebration (Thanks Dad). My Mom was there as well. Talena came for the party with the babies, Emery and Elizabeth and the boys came for awhile, and of course almost all of Greg and Kyle's friends. The food was simple, an eight foot sub, chips and dip, and potato salad. Jerry had set up a pool table, an air hockey table, a juke box, a couple of trivia games, and a shooting game of some kind, and later found a driving game that was working. the kids ate and played games, and even came up with a couple of games themsevles.

They discovered that wheeled chairs roll really good on cement. So they devised a course and had a couple of rounds or so of chair racing. Then there was the version of tag that was played throughout the entire shop. Some of the kids were zombies, some were human, and there were safe areas, and somehow there were markers involved in this game, how I'm not sure.

The party started at three and went until ten. We ended up having to take several of the kids from the shop back to our house so that they could get home from there (I believe that there were about 13 in the back of a large truck). Once we did get home they all took off to make sure that everyone got home safely.

Everyone had a blast. Some of them even helped to clean up before we left. It was a fantastic time, everyone was able to get together and enjoy themselves. Which was the point of the party, as well as saying congrats and good luck.

I will post pictures when I can, hopefully soon.

Live fully....

Saw Dad's shots at his blog. Looks like everyone had a great time! I can't believe how much Talena has grown (and how much her little girl looks like her when she was that age!!!).

Glad a good time was had by all!
