Sunday morning I woke around 7:00 AM. Kids were already outside riding bikes and had a swim before a breakfast of pancakes and bacon. Dakota, Maddie, and Cole were the first visitors of the day as they had spent another night. Melissa picked Cole up and will likely return Monday. Little David arrived around 11:00 and took the kids to the Pumpkin Patch playground for about an hour while I prepared for the next visitors.

Danny and Allison, (David’s nephew and wife) arrived around 1:00. Their son Daniel was with them and Joy and Ryan (their daughter and her husband) arrived shortly afterwards. We had BBQ ribs, potato salad, baked beans, and banana pudding. We were stuffed. While Ryan and Daniel were occupied with their technology devices, the rest of us talked about the family and their well-being.

Jason (Isabell’s Dad) brought her home after we ate and she soon discovered she had a new love for Danny. She said she was going to marry him and fed him graham crackers to seal the deal. They even shared a bottled water and a glass of milk, and he didn’t even complain about the graham cracker pieces she left floating in the beverages.

Danny, Allison, Daniel, Joy, and Ryan left around 6:15.

Christy (Dakota and Maddie’s Mom) arrived to pick up Maddie around 7:00 PM, and Little David left with Dakota getting ready to drive to Texas-he is a truck driver.

Around 8:00 PM only the residents of the house are home. Finished off the banana pudding and got ready for bed.

That’s 12 visitors today, 37 in all…and 1 dog
