Saturday...John's Folks

We spent Saturday with John's folks. We went to Cullman to help them load some things from John's grandmother's house into a van. Jeannie showed Luci a jewelry box of costume jewelry and told her to pick something out. Luci was so enthralled by this box...you'd have thought it was a pirate's chest full of gold by her reaction. She picked out a string of pearls, and then found some old China pieces to bring home to play tea party. The boys worked hard for their grandparents and were cheerful about it. Afterwards, we traveled to their home about 40 miles south of Birmingham and the men unloaded the trailer. We had a great visit, and the kids heard some very interesting stories from Uncle David (John's brother) and Uncle Joe (John's uncle) and Grandpa. I just hope they don't try the same silly tricks their daddy did when he was their age! John shows Luci an area he helped his daddy build when John was a youngster.
Luci sweating in her "new" pearls. It was a very hot day.
JT was a great helper.
The Three Amigos--Bryan, John and Olen (John's dad).
John's stepbrother, Frankie. Doesn't he look like a character actor? We think so. He's the most cowboy-lookin' person I've seen since moving from Idaho.

Tee Hee. I cringe when DH starts down memory lane with his siblings and the DC are near. . . something about jumping off the house roof into the swimming pool...
