Sara's cousin Katie texted a few weeks ago wondering what was on our calendar for this weekend. Surprisingly, nothing but a quick mini-session for family pics on Friday. Turns out that Max had off school on Friday and she was thinking of taking a quick trip to see us. Quick being the key word. Sara couldn't believe it! Her heart burst with excitement when the plan came together and they pulled into the driveway! They left Minneapolis Thursday, stopped in Mason City to see our Aunt and Uncle then drove to Kansas City where they spent the night. They made it to our house lunch time Friday and left by 8am Sunday morning. Quick but fun-filled with lots of food, laughter and memories!!! We love visitors and have lots of space so come one, come all!!!
Friday we hung around the house until picture time.
After pics we checked out a new place for dinner - City Pump. A bunch of food trucks with a common eating area with live music.
Saturday was a rainy day but the kiddos played nicely while we made homemade donut holes in honor of Grandma Kelly!
Then we ventured out to the Square for ice cream and to check out the Walmart museum!
After a quick lunch at home we went to the Community Center for some swimming!
Went home, showered, prepped some food to cook in the oven while we headed to church. We came home to a most delicious smell of southern bbq goodies. Brian even smoked brisket all day! S'mores just because :)
We had such a wonderful time. Still can't believe that they spent close to the same amount of time in the car driving that they did awake time here but oh my gosh did we appreciate the time together!! This is what life is all about - family!!!!!! Thank you KT, Alice and Max for coming!!!!!
