Our Third Visitors!

We had the honor of having nick's family in town for nearly 4 days. Nick's parent came and his sister and her two children came. Unfortunently Nate was not able to join us and we hope that someday he can come visit. We had lots of fun. Friday we attempted to go out on the boat for the day but got caught in a storm literally!! It was pouring down rain on us and we thankfully had this tiny little bimini top to all crowd under(minus nick who was out on the lake attempting to wakeboard). Wish I had a picture of us all under the top. We then saw lightening so we headed home:(. Of course when we arrived back to the house it hadn't rained at the house and it was warm and sunny. Go figure! We went out to eat that night at Lakeside Tavern which was wonderful, just a bit of a wait. Saturday we hit the lake again this time with a sunny day. We were out from 10am-4pm. Lots of swimming was had by all. We hit brusters up that night for a delicious treat. Sunday we went to church, then out to eat for lunch at Jason's Deli. It was great. Kids played a ton outside in the sandbox all weekend. We really had a wonderful time. The family left on Monday monring early. Thank you Dad, Mom, Kelli, Avery, and Alivia for coming to visit us. We really enjoyed your visit. Love you!!!
Here are a few pictures (lots of them were from kelli's camera) of our extended weekend.

The boys talked grandpa into sleeping on the floor with them the first night.Elijah and Avery all ready for bed. They are such great buddies.Caden was so sweet to Alivia the whole weekend. He made sure the big boys didn't take toys away from her, and he was even willing to go as far as feed her her bread at the restaurant. To Cute!!! The rest of the pictures are when we were out on the boat.Alivia did amazing on the boat. She didn't mind her life vest, and she fell asleep for about 2 hours and then even after she woke up she still just layed on the seat of the boat and enjoyed the movement and noise surrounding her. Thanks again for coming!! Let us know when you would like to come again:)
