I called Cami and asked her if we could watch her kids so she and Josue could celebrate their anniversary evening together alone. She was so excited and took me up on the offer happily. They dropped their kids off just before dinner time, and we enjoyed an evening together eating, swinging, playing games and laughing. We grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, had chips and strawberries with apple juice, and ice cream for dessert. The kids gobbled it all down, especially the ice cream and asked for seconds. All the kids told lots of jokes, talked a lot about how the grass felt so good between their toes, got a lot of energy out and made a lot of sweet comments to us and each other. We were grateful for perfect weather and a nice time together. Time flew by and Cam came back to pick them up and almost every kid groaned and complained and begged to have more time. Mine included! It was a fun summer evening.
