Vacation Day #1.5 (Saturday Night)

Beth beat me to putting all her pictures on her blog, but I'm old and a lot slower!!!  But here goes.  Day #1.5.  On Saturday night Barb and I (mostly Barb) planned a BBQ at her home in Ankeny.  The majority of the family was there, and of course, Barb's air conditioner gave up!  She wasn't a real happy camper, but our BBQ still worked out very well.  The kids had a great time together outdoors playing with bubble guns and balls.  Barb's service company also got a call from her regarding her air problem.  Actually we opened the windows and it wasn't too bad overnight.  And we were booked into the same hotel as the rest of the family for the rest of my time in the Des Moines area. 

 Charlotte and Jackson playing with the bubble guns and the 'big' blue ball.

When you play with bubbles and a ball, the ball gets a little sticky with bubbles!  Jackson and Charlotte worked hard to get the ball all clean and ready to go again! 

They went from a big ball to a little ball!  They sure played well together.  This was the first time for all of them being together to get to know one another. 

 Here's Oliver . . . that's my little honey bee.  Isn't he the cutest???!!

Oliver got into the act with bubbles too.  Mom and son out on the front porch! 

I love this picture of Ollie and Tristan.  They never met before but they sure got along okay. 

Where'd that one come from?  Must be the blogger . . . she gets confused sometimes.  It's Sandie and Oliver on Sunday night at the pool!!! 

Mandy and her little man!  He's so cute. 

The children.  That ball is almost bigger than the 3 of them, but they had fun with it!!

We had a great supper at Barb's.  Sweet corn!!  One of my favorite foods.  Check out Beth's blog (Foels Facts) and see how Tristan eats sweet corn!!! Glee amd Ron brought Edgewood locker brats and, as usual, they were delicious!!  Glee, Ron, Mike, Bets, Karsten, Jackson & Tristan got to meet Oliver for the first time.  They all got along great.  For me it was so much fun watching the little ones play together.  This is the beginning of a great vacation!!!
