As stated earlier, our week just kept getting better! Wednesday afternoon, David & Lindsey came to our house and Joel & Susan came to Mama's house. We had a BIG spaghetti supper together at our house. The guest list included Mama (Liz Dietz) and two of her sons, Andy & Mike. And then three of Mike's children with his grandchildren--Jeff, Emily & Joel. Three of our kids and our grandkids were here--Amy, David & Zach. We had 17 adults and 15 children. I've never seen kids play as hard as these kids played. They never stopped all evening. Since most of them had played at Jump Zone that afternoon, we fully expected them all to sleep soundly that night. It was just a hoot watching those cousins play. Fifteen kids under 9 years old, I might add!!
Cousins eating spaghetti
We let the kids eat first---so they took up 2 tables.
Beautiful kids!!
Some of them had to get reacquainted.
Unusual from the generation before them. Amy & Emily were the only girls in the generation before. (These are their daughters) The Dietz generation before that only had boys. This night, the girls outnumbered the boys 8-7!
So much fun eating together.
Kids' cups lining the window for later.
Olivia & Addie washed (the same) dishes for over an hour after dinner.
A group picture of the Great-Grandkids after dinner. Notice #1 & #5 boys from the left on the back row. #1 is Tate--Jeff's son. #5 is Josiah--Amy's son. We didn't realize they looked so much alike until this photo!
