All Aboard

Joe is a great brother to rough house with the kids when he comes over. Since he was over for Reagan's birthday, he created a WWE arena in the living room.
Opponents: Kids vs. Big Man Joe
After WWE, Joe turned into the camel in the desert. All of the kids hopped on.
What a special memory for the kids. We spent several years away from family, so it has been fun to be together again. But with Dave gone, the kids miss out on a lot of their male interaction. So I am very thankful for these little efforts from our family to make life more "normal" for the kids. Joe probably goes home worn out, always sweaty, and probably hoping he doesn't have to do this again for at least a month, but the children are thankful and talk for days about it. I couldn't ask for better nights that this right now.

I totally understand how the kids miss out on the male interaction. I was so grateful for the men in the branch that would hold and play with Jaron for that very same reason. Looks like you guys had a great time!
