Kirsten and her boys didn't leave until after dinner this evening to return home to Wilmore so we had the entire day basically to be together.
In the morning we went to a local Newburgh community park where the boys played hard on some wonderful play equipment. As you can see from the one picture the grandsons weren't the only ones enjoying themselves!
After lunch we Kirsten, Gavin, Adam, Isaac, Bev and I all went to a local historical site, "Angel Mounds," an archaeological dig and reconstruction of Native American, "Mississippian Mounds," from between 1200-1450 C.E. with 11 different mounds and reconstructed buildings on 450 acres. The interpretive center where you begin your tour was very informative and instructive and served as a "field trip" for Gavin and Adam who are being home-schooled by their mother, who put them through the paces! The other picture is of the boys sitting in a dugout canoe in the center.
This quote was on the final wall as we were leaving the interpretive center, "Treat the earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you for your children. We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." (Ancient Indian Proverb) We will all do well to pay heed!
It was a ton of fun being ALL together! I loved every crazy filled second of it! I will cherish the memories of all the sounds of joy that were shared the past few days... we all have a lot to be joyful about! Praise God.

We agree, what fun! Doesn't get much better than having all the boys together and it was so much fun watching them all play together so well! As grandparents we are truly blessed! - Dad/Grandpa Eric
