so what do you do when your mom and dad are in another state with your new brother? You call in Aunt Becky!
Uncle Bran and I hosted a two week long summer camp in Archbold for the 7 Seibert and Turner kids.
Frequently, we even invited the neighbors over for some outdoor fun!
Everyone got bathed periodically.
We practiced for when baby Hudson came home.
Natalie and I even found some time for a sewing project.
Mostly, the kids were just happy to be together. June and Tessa generally woke up, then disappeared for hours to play.
And the best part was that everyone over the age of 5 pretty much took care of themselves. When you've got that many kids, you start doling out jobs quickly. We learned early on that we could put Natalie, Oliver and Henry in charge of lunch and everyone would get fed. Not bad!
The only real drawback was that it soon became WAY too hot to go outside and we didn't have a van big enough to fit all of these hooligans into. One day we made the 3/4 mile walk to the big church with the indoor playground.
It was so much fun!
Until we had to make the 3/4 mile walk/bike back home. That is one sweaty bunch of kids.
