Lucas, Jojo, Henry, & Keenan :) Well, we couldn't take it anymore - so we ended up kidnapping a few boys to call our own. Just kidding - of course! :) We invited 4 of our nephews over for a day of fun today. I've been referring to it as "Nephew Fun Day!" I picked them up on last night and we have been having non-stop fun ever since. Keenan (9), Henry (8), Lucas (7), and Josiah (5) are all sound asleep as I type.
We jammed in about as much fun as we possibly could today - one last hurrah before they all go back to school next week. We started off at Magic Mountain where they played miniature golf, drove/rode in go-karts, played laser tag, and played lots of arcade games. From there we headed over to Skyzone and signed the boys up for the 2:30pm jump time. Since we had an hour to kill, we went back home and had a nice lunch on our back patio. The boys loved jumping on the trampolines at Skyzone. I was wondering whether we should've gotten them the 1 hour ticket instead of the 30 minute jump ticket. But they jumped their hearts off in their 30 minute window and I don't know if they could've survived a full hour of it. They were SO sweaty when we left. ;) After that we headed back home for a quick change and headed to the Orange Township Pool for a few hours. Our brother-in-law joined us with two of our other nephews - Wendel (3) and Oliver (1). The pool wasn't crowded at all - so it was perfect. The big boys all had a great time - going down the slides and playing with Wendel in the water. We headed back to the house and they took a little break and watched some TV for a little bit. For dinner we had pizza - then my sister and I took the 6 boys to the park in our neighborhood. I was amazed at how much energy they still seemed to have. ;) When we got back my husband and my brother-in-law made milkshakes for all of us - delicious! We wound down our day o' fun by watching the movie "The Lorax." I was dozing off a little bit towards the end - but it seemed like a cute movie. I think we definitely wore them out today! The only people missing today were our 2 other nephews and niece. As I mentioned earlier this week, Jack (14) & Chloe (12) were recently traveling to Japan. They just got home very late last night- so that's why they weren't part of the day o' fun. And little Nicholas (7 months) is a little young for the activities we did today and lives in NC. We definitely look forward to someday getting to be parents - but until then we will just enjoy being able to be the best uncle and aunt that we can be. We are lucky to have these 9 kids in our lives and we love them very much! In closing, I'd like to wish Giuliana Rancic a very happy birthday! She turned 37 today and her new baby boy should be here really soon. So excited for her and Bill. :) Oh, and I did go in for my blood test on Wednesday morning, so I'll let you all know when the test results are back in. Good night!!
