Oh, To Be Nine




Nine is the number of the day here; we hosted nine boys as they celebrated our grandson’s ninth birthday.  As the story goes, they stayed up most of last night while supposedly sleeping in a tent, but that didn’t slow them down today! 

These energetic bundles of male energy did it all: swimming, kayaking, tube riding, cannon-balling out deep from the pontoon.  And of course, eating, and eating again!  One hovered over a freshly baked pan of brownies mid-afternoon and asked, “Could I have two?  Or no, I mean four?”  Then he snickered as his hands hovered over half the pan, ready to pounce.  “Actually, I mean eight?”  Hmmmm.  How about nine while you’re at it?
