This one was fun. I almost got it all but messed up on who brought the shovel.
I liked this one!!! I think it was cute and fun. Once I got he ones I was sure about, then I went back to the rest and viola!!!!
I love it when the crucial clue is almost hidden so that it takes another look at something that at first looked simple. Very good!
Great one, I got Monica and Lisa mixed up. rats, next time then,and keep those coming
Though I didn't need clue 1, it was fun and sweet.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments! I am not good at solving these, so I thought that I would try and write one! I am glad that you all enjoyed it!
I thought I got stuck, until I remembered to look up the sexes of the kids!
Good one!
Good one!
This is one of the easier logic-grids i've done, but that means i did it quickly, which means it didn't matter that i haven't done my homework yet.
Mejosa, don't be hard on the person who did it. I think it was great. I'm not saying that you have to always say compliments, but just make your complaints a little bit less harsh. GOOD JOB FOR THE PERSON WHO DID THIS!

I was concerned about whether Chris was a boy or girl, but it didn't come into play!
