We met up with the Kaos at our local hiking park yesterday afternoon.  All four kids were motivated and ran up the hill quite fast.  They continued in good pace throughout the mile hike, and we made it to the playground quickly.  After the kids played for awhile, we finished up the short hike and returned to our house.  The kids ran off to play upstairs as soon as we arrived home.  They also played a game of Monopoly Jr all on their own, so we did not interfere at all.  Connor had been asking to have “hotpot”, so we had chosen it for our dinner.  Michelle helped me get the preps ready, then the four adults started cooking and enjoyed eating first while the kids continued to play.  They had fun the whole time and were giggling while they were eating too.  After dinner, we had some dessert before our guests left to go home.  For the evening, the boys were being good hosts; they shared their toys and told us that they would be happy to clean up afterward.
