Staying at the White's

On the first day, all the boys did the slip and slide, and everyone else started on the 3d puzzle.

the finished 3d puzzle.

We got to go see some helicopters and go to chick-fil-a for lunch.

On Sunday, Aline and I went swimming at a friends house.

the boys tried camping on the trampoline.

On Monday, I threw a party for when mom and dad got home.

We are so blessed by the White's and their willingness to help us out.  Not only did they take care of our kids, but it was basically summer camp for them.  They have so much energy and organized activities for the kids each day.  Laurel had to go to a seminar one day for a homeschool group they are involved with and Brian gets an award for taking care of ALL of the kids. At the end of the day, this was the text we got:

  5 boys, enough said.

AND Laurel let Alison take over the house the day we were coming back.  She baked peanut butter cookies, hung decorations and wrote a card.  It was the best thing to come home to :)
