We got the grandkids on Sunday afternoon.  This is because their school was cancelled on Monday for teacher work day.  We took them to Bigfoot’s Den in Sedro-Woolley.  They had games upstairs which the grandkids thoroughly enjoyed.  Tom and William played pool.

Piper and I played on a smaller billiards table.

We then had dinner.  Three of us had pizza while William had chicken tenders (he says he doesn’t like pizza).

Then there was air hockey

ice cream,

and basketball.

They really enjoyed it.  William wants to come back every time he stays with us.

Monday morning started with cartoons on TV.

Piper and I completed a jigsaw puzzle while Tom and William got Tom’s 650cc motorcycle ready to sell.

Just before lunch a family came from Sumner and bought the bike.  It is somewhat bittersweet as this was Tom’s bike for many memorable trips including the Baja Peninsula.  But he doesn’t ride it anymore as he favors a smaller bike.  The new owner is quite excited about it as it is his first bike.

Then we had lunch.  Tom made his famous grilled cheese sandwiches.  William claims they are the best in the world.

After lunch we went to the pet store to get a new gold fish as Piper’s fish “Gold Medal” had died earlier of swim bladder issues.  She picked out a new smaller fish and named it Rose.

The nasty, windy, rainy weather finally subsided, and William was fairly able to ride a motorcycle around until he got too cold.

After a dinner of mac & cheese with hot dogs, their father picked them up, and they went home.  The house got suddenly quiet.  We watched Monday Night Football, and I was able to knit.

Today we will be watching the election results, and I am hoping for a fair election leading to a peaceful transition of power.
