We finally got to visit the family as official TN citizens!  We hung out up on the mountain (OK, foothill, but it’s like a mountain to drive up there) with my son and the kids, and had a blast.  We did kid things, and pizza and a movie.  My poor son is so exhausted, he slept through most of the kids’ movie!  (Not that hard to do, actually.)  I don’t know how he accomplishes all he does, but somehow he does it all.  It was good to catch up and just be a family.  The bourbon was great, too.

We and the kids hated us to leave, but I suspect my son was relieved!  I’m a bad influence (being the job description of a grandparent).  A wild time was had by all.  I love getting to know each of them better.  They’re all intelligent and wise for their years; that’s not biased, just a fact.

Here is my hoodie being repurposed, the obligatory photo of my son taking a photo, a kid conference, and E being enlightened/ left behind by the gaming master.
