All in all 11 kids and 6 mommies! And boy do 11 kids know how to tear up a house and fast! Course we did put it back together before we left and they had a great time doing it.
Rene picked up pizza for everyone for dinner.
The kids found this art thing that everyone loved.
The girls needed some girl time, they went into the bedroom and closed the door. But they had just as much fun trying to keep the boys out as the boys had trying to get in the room. lol.
I put together a slide show of all the kids and many of the things that we have done over the last four years!
Watching the slideshow. I had fun making the slideshow but it took me most of a week to get it together and at the very last minute I added some music. The coolest part was when the song "Mighty to Save" came on and all the kids started singing Savior, He can move the mountains, My God is mighty to save...
Mom's watching.
Scrapbook time. Rene bought a scrapbook and everyone brought papers and stickers to decorate pages and I brought the pictures.
The kids, girls especially had a great time putting pages together.
Momma's helped cut and paste and dialog.
The scrapbook was a wonderful idea. It is sitting on our mantel now. And what amazed me was after we got home the next day, Batman was the one that came to me asking where it was and wanting to look at it. So we had a chance to sit down together and look at it again.
Found this little girl on the top bunk with a few boys.
And this little boy next to his friend eating pizza. By the way it was late when these two finally ate. Like maybe 9pm. Batman was way to busy playing to bother with eating.
Batman made a page too!
PJ's on and looking very sleepy. I was sure he was going to pass out around 10pm but they all surprised me.
See they are glossy eyed and settling down. But they all got their second wind and made it past 11:30pm before we made them all lay down!
Group shot of all our friends. 
And of course a goofy shot because it was close to 10pm by this time!
And the momma's photo curtsy of Ladybug our future photographer.
Ok, finally bedtime.
Which means the momma's get to play! Yep Nertz is addicting and we devoured Rene's chips and salsa and played cards till someone hit 250 points which was finally about 2:30am.
The first kids were up before 7am and ready to go. Rene had pancakes and chocolate chips and donuts were brought and fresh sausage.
Nate enjoying his chocolate chip pancakes.
We had a wonderful time and had a wonderful host. Fantastic memories for the kids.
Look at this post as well. My friend got some great pictures that I missed.
Holding on for the ride.
