While Mom & Dad Are Away...

... the kids will play!

And play they did! The kids stayed with Mimi and Papa while Mark and I went to Memphis.

Kate packed a whole rolling suitcase full of games, nail polish, notebooks, and every stuffed animal from her bed.  She had to pack an extra bag to fit them all.  I thought I was being sneaky the night before by pulling a few out, but she caught me the next morning.  I believe her exact words were, "How did these get out of my bag?" and then stuffed them all back in.  haha!

While we were gone, they did lots of swimming.

They planned a big campout Saturday night.

They worked hard helping Papa set up the tent.

No one actually slept in the tent. Kate decided she wanted to watch t.v. more than she wanted to sleep out in the tent. Which I'm sure was fine with Mimi and Papa. haha!

Sunday, before we made it home, they went to Steak N' Shake for lunch.
