Family and Fun

This last weekend, we welcomed Bob’s parents back to Chicago.  They are visiting us from Jos, Nigeria where they serve as missionaries with Oasis International.

Over the weekend, Bob and his dad took Darcy and Aidan camping.  Stay tuned for a post from Bob on this topic.  I’m still unfolding the stories myself.  I think the kids were bribed to not tell Mommy everything.  No further comment at this time.

Sunday, we finally got some gorgeous weather and a little picnic action going.  Plus, a gigantic bouncy-house-thingy (do these things even have a technical name?) … Check it out!

Darcy loved her some “air time”, as did Chase, although he was only comfortable as long as his dad held on to him.  I never get tired of watching my husband with the kids … have I mentioned this?  [Melt]

Oddly enough, Aid, the general adventurer/wanderer/climber was completely out on this strange bouncing concept and would only ever watch distrustingly from the sidelines with his Grandpa Ewoldt.

[Please note the spectacular safari-style head gear.  This is one of my father-in-law’s trademarks … for which I love him dearly.  He even threatened to wear it to my wedding.  True story.]

More from our week’s adventures soon – even if my kids are getting sick of the camera –
