We had a pretty relaxed day today. We didn't get up until around 9AM and took our time getting ready and out of the hotel. We proceeded to my uncle's house, which is an hour away. They had a whole roast pig, they had fish, and they had barbecue--lots of food. The best part was sitting around chatting with relatives and friends. The kids spent much of their time in the basement media room where there is a huge projector screen that comes down from the ceiling and several reclining seats all in a row. They even have a popcorn machine, although we didn't use that. The kids watched TV at first but then we all ended up watching "Star Trek". Eric ended up falling asleep during the loud movie. It wasn't until we were about to leave that he finally started warming up to my aunt.
My sisters and I used to spend most of our summers with my aunt and uncle and their kids. My aunt asked Alex if he wanted to come visit next summer and stay for a month. I'm not sure if Patrick and I want to do that, but the offer brought back nice memories of being spoiled by my aunt and uncle. For now, the kids had enough fun that they begged to go back tomorrow before we have to go to the airport. That means more driving, but being with family is worth it.
