We were able to enjoy another weekend with family this week! Our sister-in-law was headed from Iowa to Texas for a wedding, so she and her three kids (plus Dennis's aunt) stopped in for a few days to break up the loooong trip. We all had the best time playing together and having fun. The great thing is that their kids are fairly close in age to ours. Sarah is only two months younger than Samantha, they have a little boy (Caleb) one year younger, then comes Emma, and Corey is about five months older than Andrew. It is great to get all the kids together, and the older they get, the more fun they have!
Everyone got in on Thursday afternoon, so we had dinner and just played at home. On Friday, we ran some errands, and then went to a ward activity that was at a water park. It was the best place for kids. If I had a nanny to help me keep track of my three little ones, I would go there every day! Anyone know any free nannies? On Saturday, we went to a friend's house in the morning and then let the kids run through the sprinkler in the back yard. We let them run in their underwear, but in our defense it was 107 degrees that day!!! Sunday, we got to go to church (where I taught my first Relief Society lesson in about three years - stressful) and then everyone took naps, did some crafts, and played Candyland. It was a great weekend, and we were so sad to see them go this morning! They'll have a great time in Texas with their family, though.
