my sister came to visit us for the weekend!
they got here as soon as we’d started a campfire.
with s’mores…and neighbors and dogs…and beers.
the neighbors wandered over for the fire and i was so glad.
i love warm weather for this stuff.
all the kids love to play “mallow toss”…
throwing marshmallows at them while they jump on the trampoline.
saturday was perfect.
craig made a yummy breakfast for us.
then we headed outside for the bright warm sunshine.
we blew bubbles, washed the truck, played in the baby pool,
laid in the grass, talked with our grandma, splashed on the trampoline,
stuck stickers on maya’s belly, went for a long walk
and had lots of girl time together.
(the boys were gone for most of the day)
we finished off the day with a walk downtown for ice cream cones.
we ate our treats on the steps of the historical museum.
near…………..
FAR!
(just like on sesame street)
lorel i am so happy you came to visit.
i love spending time with you and your girls.
someday we will have visits together
with no crying, throwing up or injuries from sword fights.
but for now i am loving raising our families together
and all the “fun” that goes along with it.
have a wonderful last week of school!
grandma thank you for coming too.
it always fun to have you here.
Kimba @ A Soft Place to Land - I meant to comment before but forgot…The Grover on Sesame Street reference cracked me up! I used to be able to the best “Near/Far” impersonation. I’ll have to try it out on my family tonight. 🙂
traci - what a wonderful weekend treat – time spent with your sister. her kids are adorable too. i love the look of your street. such pretty houses with wonderful front porches. very welcoming.
traci - WOW..you can have bonfires in town? Jeepers that would be fun but here the fire dept. would be here in 10 mins..lol
Looks like fun but your house ALWAYS looks like fun.
jes - wow! great blog! fantastic photos…love time with family 🙂
mallory Heffron - Looks like you had a great family weekend…
Allikayes Mama - Near…far! So funny! I want to jump on the tramp with water!
Jennifer P. - Everyone looks like they had a great time. The little one with star stickers on her belly reminded me of Dr. Seuss’s “the sneetches”—too cute ;)!
carissa - time with family… nothing better! nothing!
you live that close… you can walk for ice cream? that is AWESOME!!!!!!!
Sara - Seeing you both together made my little heart ache, you have such a great gift in eachother. It makes me wish so much that I lived closer to 1. my mom and 2. my brother and 3. Lorel.
Suzanne - Super fun & yummy food to boot! Sisters are great to share adulthood with!
lorel - I am so glad I came too! I (mostly)enjoy the roller coaster ride of raising kids, and I enjoy our sisterhood. Sat. was a wonderful day. Our ride home was mostly really nice – both girls slept for almost 2 hours, so I drove the “cowboy trail” thru Cottonwood Falls. Just beautiful. When Macy woke up though, her right front tooth was really loose and bleeding (whine, whimper -“It tastes gross!”-then Maya says,”gross” too.) It finally fell out last night at 8:55! thanks for everything. See you in June.
Diane - Looked like a glorious day!
Jill (One Wired Woman) - Looks like a fun weekend! Smores, ice cream, waterplay… just makes me want to go outside and soak up some sun. 🙂 ~Jill
