We arrived at Lisa and George's bright and early so that the boys could go on what turned out to be a 33 mile bike ride.  Lisa and I puttered and prepared our dishes while the kids played video games. 

Emily and Nic playing a game.

Nat waiting for her turn...

...and offering morale support.

The kids took a break from the

video games to play soccer. 

They made Penny go inside,

though.  Penny had all the moves,

she stole the ball, head butted it,

etc.  They didn't like that.

The bikers return from their 33

mile bike ride.  Aunt Phyllis wishes

she could have joined them but

didn't have her bike.

OK, this works.
