Family Time

Last week my dad, Lisa and grandma came to visit from Florida. We hadn't seen them since New Year's so it was nice to have them up for a few days.

The weather was absolutely beautiful while they were here and we had such a great time together. The kids found a turtle - that was a HUGE hit. Lisa convinced them to put the turtle under a bush and by dinner time, he was gone. Thank goodness - we don't need anymore pets!

Alyssa & McKenna had soccer games and Brennan had 2 t-ball games so they were able to see all 3 of them play sports.

Lisa & I got a pedicure - so relaxing (!) - and we ate WAY too much good food :-) Pizza, steak 'n cheese, fried chicken, guacamole, chips 'n dip, cake....yummmmy.

Friday & Saturday nights, the kids "camped out" in our basement in the tents that Pop Pop and Lisa got them for Cmas. They thought this was so cool! Needless to say, they went to bed super late and were up super early so by Sunday night, they were worn out.

On Saturday it was my nephew Trevor's bday party - they had a cookout - so we went to that and Lisa came along for the party. We had a really good time and hung out a little longer than expected. But the beer was cold, the food was good and we were having fun chatting so it was hard to leave.

Sunday my cousins came down to visit....Jeff, Stephanie and their daughter Jillian

Kristin and her son Landon

and Andy. We had a nice cookout and great weather so the kids were able to play outside most of the day. The waterslide they got for Cmas from my dad/Lisa made it's way back to us during their trip so they had a blast with that.

My dad played basketball with the kids,

the swingset got a great workout and we played Pictionary Jr. with all the kids.

Of course their time here went by too fast and they headed back to FL last Wednesday. We were sad to see them go, but we're looking forward to another visit in July...and to the kids getting 2 weeks with them while we come back home and try to figure out what to do with our free time...HA! As if we can't figure that one out :-)
