President's Day & Grandpa Date

My parents invited 6 of the 9 grandkids to spend the night at their house last Sunday night. What a crazy night it was trying to get six kids to sleep in two different rooms. The third room finally had to be used before they all fell asleep. Monday was President's Day so my dad decided to take the 6 kids out for a Grandpa Date. First he took all 6, by himself, to a movie - Hotel for Dogs. They all loved the movie. After they went to McDonalds for lunch. After lunch he decided to take them swimming. My mom and I decided that 6 was too many for one person to watch so my brother went and swam with them. After swimming they went out for ice cream. What next? Pizza! They all came back to the house where they ate pizza and played. What a fun day! My kids were exhausted by the end of the day and I know that my dad was too!

While my dad had our kids we took advantage of the day. After going for a run we went out on a date. We had gift certificates for a movie and dinner. We went out to eat at Chili's and then went and saw Taken. We really enjoyed our day together!

Sounds like you all had a great day! It was really weird going to Simplot and seeing a scarce pack of T-birds and no Marshalls, we sure missed you guys!
