The house cleared out a little on Monday - we were down to 9. In the morning, we took the kids to the pool. They had fun swimming for a while. We had the place to ourselves which was kind of nice. After lunch, the kids did more experiments with their water creatures and made more mud pies. Then the older kids got to go see "Planes." We had a very relaxed dinner and had some ice cream for dessert - except for Alex. He and Aunt Sara had special treats in the living room. The kids then played with glow sticks and chased "ghosts" around the yard. They were all pretty worn out after 3 days of excitement.
