Memorable but not expensive


For our anniversary this year, I expressed the desire to do something memorable but inexpensive and as a bonus, it could include grandchildren. My sweetheart came up with a really fun evening! He had Jed park Walter (motor-home) next to our motor-home in Kurt's pasture and invited all the grands to a sleep over.
The Girl's above, and the Boy's below. The 4 littlest got to sleep in their own beds- but spent the evening playing with everyone. They ran and ran and ran. Jumped in the astro-jump and played on the swing set.


There were almost enough marshmallow guns there for everyone. When I went out to take a photo- guess who was the target. Believe it or not, they actually hit me with marshmallows. I don't recommend saying: "Na Na Na Na Na Na you can't hit me?" again. Marshmallows actually sting. Who would have known. Tucker brought some sparklers and a couple of snakes and whizzbangs. His audience was rapt with attention- but most of the sparklers were duds. The kids had s'more's and played a run around in the dark game "Ghost in the Graveyard" until we made them settle down at 11:00.
The girls slept in Walter and the Boys in the other one. We had a great time, but on our anniversary night, we had Gil with the boys, and me with the girls. We made up for that later!

Good times.

Ha ha! Love to see that the marshmellow guns are getting some use - we had such fun making a bunch of those. Glad your anniversary was so fun.
