All Catron Staycation 2014



Im not even sure where to start or how to recap our Staycation 2014.  How about They came, played, cried, ate, slept, and left.   Ok I will do better than that but seriously there was always so much going on its hard to kinda recap it.  It was just really really good to all be under the same roof for a few day and watch kids interact and talk to each other face to face.  I already know we are planning on making a shutterfly book to remember the week with that will have tons of pics but here is my quick blog highlights from the week:

Friday:  the Rowlands arrived in the evening, ready to get the party started

Riding the train out at the Farm Heritage Museum with Papa
Saturday: Will and Beth ran the route 66 10K,  went to the train expo in town, McQuaids arrived by dinner

3 good lookn Dads
Sunday: Happy Fathers Day!  Church, Fathers Day Brunch with Grandma and Grandpa over, Stahrs
Arrived after lunch, Will and Beth left to play soccer, Homemade Ice cream night.

I dont really have any pics of Sunday but here is Gma Cindy reading a book, Im calling her "the little boy whisperer"

We had a Train room that all the kids enjoyed, but maybe no one more than Grant.  If we weren't sure where Grant was we would just check the train room.

Monday:  Bouncy House Day!

Watching the bouncy house go up

Papa enjoyed the water slide almost as much as the kids


Aunt Annie and Eli


The Rowland Crew....sans Grant 
Aunt Sally and Gavin

Grandma and Papa

"the triplets" Our three 4 year-old played the most on the bouncy house


Grant was NOT into the bouncy house.  In fact it really bothered him all day.  He didn't want people going in it, sliding down it, or getting wet.!

Tuesday: The Magic House (Laura had a fever so Annie and Laura stayed home), scavenger hunt, Papa Rex & Uncle Aaron vs the kids water fight in evening.

Uncle Steve is coming!

Ok Sister now if you see this send me your pics from the week so I can use them to make the book.  This is what like 25 pictures I took over 300 during the week.  So there is much much more to come.
