My sister and brother came to visit in August. I was pretty excited, my sister hasn't been up here in three years. They drove over from Wisconsin and made record time. We hadn't seen them since last July when we made the drive over that way. It was so much fun getting to see her kids and letting them spend time with their cousins. Even if they all did get sick for a day or two while they were visiting, we magically never got it! We spent a day at the aquatic center Moses Lake and went to Scootney lake one evening and went swimming. Valerie and I ran almost everyday she was here and it was so nice having someone to run with. We tye dyed shirts and head scarves with the kids and also had a Zucchini iron chef bake off.
The kids loved playing on our bouncy pool slide and on our trampoline.
Valerie got to meet Quinn for the first time and so did Aaron.
Maddie and Martin were nice enough to play with Isak and Lucy who are 3-5 years their junior.
Tye dyeing was a lot of fun, even with stained hands. Isak and Lucy loved their finished shirts.
Uncle Aaron as always was the favorite as he was always willing to build legos and let the kids jump all over him.
Sprinkler under the trampoline equals hours of entertainment. We also lit a fire in our fire pit and did hot dogs and smores.
Below is Valerie and Aaron preparing for the bake-off. Valerie made a very good frittata dish and Aaron creatively did a "smoothini" he called it but it was essentially a zuchinii smoothie which was actually pretty good. My dad made zuchinni bread and I made some failed zucchini cookies.
We had votes on who won but since I didnt win I didnt' pay attention...like the fancy parsley in aaron's drinks? Maybe he won.
We attempted some pictures of 8 of the grandkids but Edyn wasn't in a real picture loving mood. Fancy that.
Also, this picture of Quinn is funny. This is half the reason I have kids. To dress them up and make them to ridiculous things because its adorable.
