My cousin Cinda was planning a trip from Lakeland Fl to N.C. some where in the mountains and they were going to stop by the Coca cola Museum on the way. So I asked her to stop by house for an afternoon and spend the night. She said are you sure? Cause you know their will be 11 of us, after all we do have 9 kids! I said sure why not!

 

 

 

 

 

So they came up, got to my house about 5:30 pm or 6. I had dinner waiting for them. I was soooooo impressed! After everyone ran around for a little while saying hello, Michael made all of the kids go wash their hands, line up at the back door, gave them a drink and made them go sit on the back deck around the table hands in their lap. Then we served them their plates and they were not aloud to eat until each one of them had received their plate and then said the blessing then they all ate together. The adults ate inside. I was amazed at how well behaved they were through that meal. Then afterwards they were not aloud up until they were told!

We then went to the park so they could burn off some of that built up energy from sitting in a van for 8 or so hrs.

When we got back to the house Cinda was amazing how she got all the kids settled with baths, showers, into p.j.’s and got them in bed. We let them watch t.v. as they fell asleep. By the way the kid’s range from 4-13 yrs old. So putting them to bed is no easy task! Cinda, Ricky and I played Skip Bo before we all went to bed.

The next morning all the kids ate some cereal, got dressed and then their dad made them ALL sit down in the living room while their mom packed up the van and got ready to go to the coke museum. Again I was amazed at the order they had with the kids. They all said good bye to Ricky and I and loaded up and went on their way!

Cinda and Michael are GREAT parents. (Did I mention they adopted 6 of these kids) God bless all of you!
