Day 28 - Brandyn and Jen are Home!

Monday, 19 September

Today I slept in a little and awoke to the boys playing some kind of a "tag/hide and seek/capture the flag" hybrid game with Debra.  They were running all over the back yard laughing and playing... it was fun to watch them.  When I was up and dressed, I took Ammon and Kaleb to McD's for some lunch... Hyrum stayed with Grandma...
 After lunch, the boys played more hide and seek... Brandyn and Jen were supposed to be home at 1400 and right about 1355 they decided to chase each other through the pond soaking themselves head to toe...
Deb was thrilled...

 Sometime along the way, Deb finished the acorn wreath that she and the boys made for  the house...

 At 1400, and after a change into dry clothes, the boys climbed "Picture Rock" to wait for mom and dad to come up the long driveway...

 They waited...

 And listened...

 And waited some more...

 Until finally, they were home!

 Kaleb's buddy was home...

 They boys all got small gifts from mom and dad... one of the gifts was a book that illustrated how to make animals by folding towels... just like on the cruise ship...

Together, they made this Stingray... they were quite proud of themselves.

This evening, we all went to dinner at a local Italian place and then came home to watch a slide show of Brandyn and Jen's cruise.  Everyone is now in bed and I am going there too... I think Deb and I will sleep well tonight!
