It has been a while since I last blogged primarily since it has been relatively quite here on Sperry’s Forge Trail. And that is not bad … just rainy, cool and quiet! But that all changed this past weekend and it was a weekend that was one of the best weekends as a grandparent I could possibly have!
The twins (along with Matt and Nicole) came home this weekend for a wedding … a good friend of Nicole’s from her days at OU (go Bobcats!). Our kids (Matt, Ashley and Mitchell) decided some time back that they wanted to get together (along with spouses) for a nite on the town (Ohio City). And that Mo and I would watch all six grandkids. So the six adults partied in OC and all stayed over at the Taseff’s Friday evening which left, as promised, the six kids with Mo and me. What an evening … I do think it was the first time we had all six for the evening. Fantastic other than four of them woke up way too early Saturday morning. But that’s ok … more time for play, stories, tv and so on.
The real, real, real fun came on Saturday … we, along with Ashley, Mitchell and Doreen, took the six kids to McDonalds for dinner and play time before heading out to the metroparks in Lorain for Halloween fun. If you have not gone there I highly recommend it (with kids or not) … it is about a 1/2 mile trail of ghosts, goblins, scary houses, lights, pumkins, and skeletons. It is awesome and maybe a little too scary for little one’s including Mitchell. After the trail … plenty of laughter, hugging, screams, etc we topped the nite off with a wagon ride through yet more Halloween items including many blow ups of various characters. Alta was asleep in the car before we had the twins buckled up and they (the twins) were soon asleep as well. It was a blast! Can’t wait till next year though Cayden said he was gonna skip a year and Maddy said she was gonna skip 3 years.
Sunday morning was a great breakfast, more fun with the twins and then seeing them head back home for Chicago! It was one hectic and fun-filled weekend. Love these six soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!
