For the past two days, the kids have been over at my parents' house, playing with cousins and eating my parents out of house and home (Seriously, they are bottomless pits.) and having all kinds of fun. Meanwhile, Juanito and i have had a couple of date nights, where we ate out and binge-watched "The Good Place" and just generally enjoyed having a kid-free house.
Today, the entire family - aunts and uncles and cousins - all went out to my grandparents' house on the lake to celebrate my grandpa's 98th birthday. Ninety-eight is an impressive age, and he is an amazingly healthy 98-year-old. Besides his being in a wheelchair now, you'd never guess that he was over 80. (Unless you knew him when he was 80. That might have been about the age that he and my grandma stopped playing tennis daily.)
It was the first time we've seen my cousins, maybe since last year. Usually we see them when we all go to the visit Grandpa and play on the beach, but Grandpa moved to a nursing home this year, and there is not much of a beach to play on, and it hasn't been a terrifically hot summer, so none of us has been there much. So it was fun seeing everyone and catching up. Yay!
