In the previous post, I mentioned we recently celebrated my step-grandmother's 80th birthday. One of the coolest things about that party, was having our immediate family all together, since my sister and her son, George, live in Wyoming. On my (that would be Jolie's) side of the family, there are 4 grandchildren. . . Ryan (12), Zoe (3), George (2), and Ethan (1). Now, Zoe, George, and Ethan are all born around the Labor Day time frame. They love being together and playing with each other and this year was the first time that Ethan was able to play with his cousins. They had so much fun playing together at Bonnie's birthday party. They played Frisbee, dug in the dirt (and ate some), hugged each other, and filled the house and yard with squeals of joy and laughter. In fact, Grandma and Grandpa Heinrich bought a new toy (a CAT dump truck that moved and made noise (a great toy for grandma and grandpa's house!). The kids had so much fun carrying it together and playing it together. They even stopped playing to dance to the 20 second musical interlude when the correct button was pushed. It was quite funny because, despite the fact that there were 3 kids vs. 1 truck, they never really fought over it - they played so nicely.
I don't think that as kids we thought that we would sit around watching our kids play together, but it is definately a beautiful thing.
