Remember those great kids that accompanied Alli and I to Six Flags a few days ago? Well, we were blessed that their aunt Maria drove them out on Saturday to spend the day at the lake with us. The boys were just as “responsible and well-behaved†as last time, with more healthy doses of horseplay thrown in.
Alli kept the boys in line. Mostly.
Of course, she couldn’t help but join in some of the horseplay as well.
And then her uncle would whisk her away from those young men. But I don’t think Jim fully grasped that his role as an overprotective uncle wasn’t supposed to involve him whisking Alli at such high speeds that she would have been far safer on the tube with a few boys than she was with him on the jet ski!
Without any restraining female influence, the boys plotted their testosterone-laden activities.
Which of course involved a floating wrestling match.
Which of course involved excessive splashing.
Susie thought the boys were very funny.
Becky was glad the boys let her join in the tube riding.
Jim was just happy that the girls are at least two to three decades away from dating boys.

Good luck with the no dating for the twins, Jim. Did you see the impish smiles on your daughter’s faces? I think you’re in for a lot of work keeping the bees away from your beautifiul flowers. Enjoy it now, while you are the only man in their eyes.

LOL @ the dating comment. We joke that when our dd is about 35 we’ll allow her to start dating.

Thanks for taking them all Emily. They haven’t stopped talking about it. And tell Jim thanks for the protective services. Looks like a good time was had by all.
