Swap # 5 to Get all 5 Grandkids

Grandpop and I headed out early to go through OKC to get Jett and then on to Blackwell to meet the Woods Family to get the kids.

1 grandkid done - 4 more to get


Our meeting spot

Jett wondered when his cousins would arrive!

What a great looking group ready to head to the farm!

Let the fun and excitement begin!!!

Woods' Family on the Farm and Swap # 4

Bryan, Melodi and the girls came to the farm to spend the night before their next jaunt to Kansas.
This was the time to enjoy visiting and do fireworks.

I believe the boys were glad to see their parents and sisters (but I doubt they would admit that about their sisters).

Grandpop and I have a few days on the farm alone before we do Swap #5 which involves getting all 5 kids and enjoying them for a week on the farm.

On the Farm Again and Restoring the Old Barn

Time to restore the old barn.  The old lumber and tin was removed so time to redo it and paint.

The boys were a lot of help with the old barn!

Time for Games
The boys "walked down memory lane" with toys from the toy closest.
