On most Wednesdays, our kids take part in "O Day". This is an afternoon spent with Oma and Opa (my parents). It started out as Oma Day, but Opa seemed to get pressed into service most of the time picking up kids from school, driving to wherever they were going that day, etc. My brother's three kids are there most of the time also. It's a great way for the cousins to know each other more like brothers and sisters, a way for grandparents to keep that strong bond with grandkids, and a nice little "date night" for Mom and Dad.
Here is a picture of them: Kaia is 6, Nick is 9, and Riley is 4. (This was their Christmas picture)
Yesterday, we got about 3 inches of snow, so Opa took the kids sledding behind the four wheeler around our yard. They love it! Riley and Kaia were still at their dance class, so it was just four kids. They had three sleds tied behind the ATV. Karli came in with a head full of snow and I made the mistake of chuckling in her direction. It wasn't funny!! So, I missed the photo opportunity. Nate came in a bit after Karli and he thought it was hilarious that he was covered with snow. I asked if he fell off and he said no, Opa just made the snow come in his face three times. His eyebrows were even frosty. I took the first picture:
Then I told him his eyes were closed so I should take another one:
Now, you decide - isn't that funny?
