Memorial Day Weekend

This memorial weekend my brother Kevin came up with his family from Florida. He has a girl, two boys, and one on the way. So I got together with them along with Eric and his family at my folks. Eric has a boy and two girls. All the kids are under 7 years old. The kids got along great. They played together without any fussing or fighting. In the past there has been so fussing and fighting. The boys got to go on a father and son camp-out Friday night. They got to sleep in a tent all by themselves. The girls stayed home and had a mother daughter party. They ate and played games.
After the camp-out Kevin and Dad went up to Franklin, North Carolina. Kevin is bring his scout troupe up this summer to hike. So they went to scout out the drop of and pick up point. Eric and I brought the boys back. Later Saturday afternoon, Eric and I took all the kids but the youngest to the park. (She was taking a nape.) Grandma, Bonnie, and Tracy were canning chicken and pork. After the park we made pizza for dinner. Kevin and Dad got back as we were putting the pizzas in the oven. The pizzas were a hit. We had strawberry pie for desert.
On Sunday after church, we had another family dinner. We had smoked pork, salad, beans, corn, and mac and cheese. The kids enjoyed watching church videos, reading stories, and playing. It was a good weekend. Kevin had to be back at work on Tuesday so they left Monday to drive back. The kids had a lot of fun with their cousins. Grandma enjoyed having everyone visit.
