My dad and my brother during my one day visit at my house where I grew up. I stayed the night after picking the kids up about an hour south of here.
My brother is truly the biggest kid I know. He makes the addage, "the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys" true. They don't have kids of their own yet, so they buy toys to play with when the nieces and nephews come over. Like this monster banzai inflatable water slide that is about 10 feet tall or so. The kids loved it even more when my dad hooked it up inside the house and had the warm water coming from the wash tub in the basement instead of the water hose spicket! It was like bath water... or so I'm told...I steared clear of the whole thing!
I really don't think he'll ever grow up! But the kids sure do like playing with him!
Hannah's attempt at taking our picture. This is the best one she got! We clearly need to work on getting our heads in the little screen on the back of the camera...
We stopped at the Mackinac Bridge for a break on our drive back home. It's about half way between my parents' house and our house in Pembine. I let the kids get out and play along the beach and wade into the water while I nursed Sarah. It took a bit longer than I planned, but they had fun! It's one our favorite places along the drive to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

What fun! Sounds like your kids had a blast visiting with relatives. That water slide looks like fun.
Uncles are so much fun! My kids worship the ground that my brothers walk on -- "Why don't you wear "x" -- Uncle ____ would really like it" is one of my best motivators! :-)
