Memorial Day visitors

On Memorial Day weekend we had our first visitors for the year! Aaron's brother, Justin, and family (Cheril, Madison, Hannah & Natalie) came to visit for a long weekend. We had a fabulous time and hope they did too!

Not even fun cousins can tear Haylee away from her books!

I think this was Thursday and we took it easy that day. Did go to Ikea for some free babysitting and then lunch with 'em all.

Aaron took Friday off and we headed to the zoo. It was perfect weather and Madison's 7th birthday!



Hannah, Olivia, Madison & Cheril - just finished lunch!

Natalie, Haylee, Carter, Aaron & Justin

Haylee is NOT a fan of the carousel.

3 Amigos.

Natalie prefers the carousel bench. Now that, I can do.

4-D movie - The Wizard of Oz.

Checking out the lions.

My favorite photo!
Hannah, Carter, Olivia, Natalie and Cheril getting a good look at the polar bear.

Wished I would have videotaped this little guy.

This baby monkey put on quite a show for the kids.
Sooooo cute!

Next stop, choo-choo!
Carter (his forehead still sporting his bike crash remains), Madison, Olivia and Hannah.

Heading home after a very long day, very fun, day at the zoo!

The following day we made our way over to Clippard Park! It happened to be the first day the water park was open and while we didn't come dressed to get wet, it didn't stop the kids!

Trying to warm up and dry out.

Haylee was fine to stay away from the water.

These girls couldn't help themselves though.

We hope to have Justin and his family visit again soon!

And next time they'll be a family of six!
