I see a new tradition forming!!!

Last year Aimee and the boys came to visit the week Gary went back to school. They decided to come again the same wee this year. Do I hear another tradition forming?? They came on Monday and they were able to stay 4 days!! We were all exhausted by Thursday, but we had a great time!!


A friend from church let us use her minivan all week so we could all fit in one car. While I vacuumed and cleaned my car Aimee caught Sadie and Grayson sharing a few sweet moments...





Don't you just love how his little hand is resting on her shoulder!...






He looks a little stunned...Maybe he's never had a cute redhead kiss him!...





This was the view from our seats in the minivan. We were on our way to the Y. Aimee and I did a Zumba class (like we used to do together) while the kids played and then we all went swimming and had a picnic. Such fun!!..





Thursday afternoon after all the naps we played outside. It was so hot, but our backyard is completely shaded so it was actually pleasant.


Sadie having a snack, of course...










Elijah being his silly self...




Our new cat Bahgeera (from the Jungle Book)....






Grant apparently loves cats just as much as Elijah...we credit Bibby for that!...







Elijah and Grant enjoying the tire swing...

















My girl would sit in that swing all day if we would let her...even if she's not swinging...


Has there ever lived a more precious baby?






Elijah helping out with the pushing so Aimee and I could rest. Such a good boy...




Wednesday morning we decided to take the kids to the zoo. It was incredibly humid, but we still had a good time...


After feeding the fish, above, my camera died and Aimee didn't have hers.


More of the same Wednesday afternoon, then church, then home to bed. Thursday morning I had to get up and leave for work, but Aimee and Beau got the kids ready and Aimee was able to get a picture of them all 4 together...



Just a little proof to show you how much kids change in 6 months...

We're already planning next year's trip (but we're also planning a trip before then with no kids!!)!

What great memories you are making with your friends and their kids. Mary Gregory and I often recall stories of those days and our girls fun times on Grand.(the girls talk about it, too!) Enjoy every minute!!
