A Houseful of Fun

Right now we have 17 people staying in our house: Grandpa and Grandma Peterson, Uncle Travis and Aunt Margaret, and their kids: Camryn, Ethan, Sloan, and Isaac. When I'm not otherwise occupied and don't have something I have to do, I've been grabbing my camera and walking around taking a million pictures. After about ten minutes, I set the camera down and do something else. :D So here are a few of the pictures I've collected:

 Camryn and Grandma

 Aunt Margaret (Kindred) Peterson

 Bjorn, Camryn, and little Rosemary

 Sloan

 Cecily and Sloan... still eating!!! (This is only one of the two tables we've been using for mealtimes... we're a big crowd!) :)

 In the meantime, here's where (almost) everyone else is!

 Ethan

 Finished at last! :D

 Little Isaac

 and Bjorn, Isaac's buddy

 Rosemary and Grandpa

We had a malt-making contest tonight. The contestents were Grandpa, Papa, Knut, and Ethan. Ethan was the winner with four votes. Grandpa and Papa tied for second with one vote each. Poor Knut! No one liked his... it was way too chocolatey! Well, forget the 'poor'; he was perfectly happy! Since no one liked his, he got to drink it all himself!

Afterward Camryn and I decided to show everyone how malts should really be made. Personally, I think that ours was the best, but some people did disagree; they said that it wasn't chocolatey enough. Did you ever hear of anything so silly? :)

Aunt Margaret, Camryn, Ethan, and Sloan went to Lyceum with us today. Camryn went to all of my classes, Sloan to all of Cecily's, and Ethan to the first three of Knut's classes. Aunt Margaret wandered around peeking in on everyone, taking some pictures, and learning some things even in classes that none of us take. :) Grandma stayed at home with Bjorn and Isaac and the men. Maybe tomorrow I can get Lyceum from the perspective of Camryn, Ethan, and Sloan... but I doubt it. They have much more important things to do! :)
