Sister Visit

OK I finally went through all of the pictures from our visit with the family. It was really a 3 week visit so lots of pictures and lots of fun. You can read Melinda's post and get most of it and more of the family pics so I will save you some and just hit a few highlights of my kiddos.

The drive to Levelland went really well considering. A 9 month old, a 20 month old, and a 3 1/2 year old don't make the best travelling companions but give them a DVD player and a few extra cheerios and everybody survived. Besides what fun would it be to visit without the drive there. Like Melinda said, Carrie always has lots of fun things planned and is a great host. Klayton and Austin played great and I don't think we broke up but maybe one argument. It is so much fun to see them playing together and groing up to be great buds.
I made the trip without Kevin so Klayton was my little helper with Kenzie. He is a little protective of her but again too cute.

Then there was finger paintingand of course the water time was a hoot. The kids never really mastered the slip n slide but they had fun trying. And Kenzie...well she just had fun eating grass.
And of course we have to play a little tackle. I don't know how this game came to be but they were laughing hysterically and by the end so were we.Most of the time my child is a scaredy cat but he fought hard to get out of Austin's hold and then when he had Austin pinned down, Austin decided he didn't want to play. So Klayton would let him up and start running and get tackled again and giggle his way back on top. Too much fun!!
Of course who can handle all those kids without a few drinks. Then it was on to North Carolina. Again refer to Melinda's blog for all of the fun pictures. It was a great visit and some really good adult time. We are really lucky to spend so much time together despite living lots of miles apart. Here we are enjoying the sites.
