The pace of life picked up at the lake. My sister and brother-in-law are easy visitors, they move at our pace. The boys do a few projects and Janie and I walk, knit and kayak on the clear days. My brother and his seven-year-old daughter are also here and she likes to keep a little busier. Lots of Go Fish.
We decided a party was in order and since there is a gaggle of darling kids at the cabin next door, we concocted a pancake pajama party one morning. At 8:30 a.m. we had eight kids show up. The little girls had braided their hair prettily and they were all in their 'best' p.j's.
We are no dummies so we had all the pancakes made and warming in the oven, the table was set and we had enough adults around to keep everyone served and catch any spills.
After breakfast, they made a fort on the front porch and a few of them played cards out there. We had one art project ready and for a while they all colored together at the table, happy voices all around. Before long, some of the construction paper became airplanes and those flew beautifully off our balcony. Who knew.
By 10:30 a.m., they were all off for a wild flower walk with our niece in tow.
In a few days it will be quiet again. Both ways are fun.
