The Return of the Kids



















When Jason called our parents in Alabama to let them know of Elizabeth's arrival, Karen's parents loaded up and came to pick up the children. They packed up and took the kids back to Alabama where they and Jason's parents watched and entertained the children for two weeks. On Thursday, Jason's parents made the caravan back home with the kids. We enjoyed their stay and did some really fun outings. We went to the zoo and enjoyed the Splash Run park. Also, we had more fun at Blackacre as well as fishing in the neighborhood lake. Notice in the pictures that Jason bought some corn for the kids to learn to feed the animals from the palms of their hands. Even William got into it! Jason felt bad for Alden missing out on the fun, so he put some feed on his stroller tray. Before we knew it, Alden was enjoying the feed as well. Karen rescued a few corn niblets from his mouth before being swallowed. The kids also rode in Papa's vehicle while looking at the gardens for him to point out all the vegatables to them. It was a great weekend to mark the return of the kids.
