Visitors from Texas

The first week of August my sister from Texas arrived with her family for a visit. We had lots of fun visiting and watching the boys play together. As usual I forgot my camera most of the time. Susan, Paul, Grant, Tucker, Evan and Lindy drove from Houston, Texas to Shelley, Idaho and then back again. Who knows how many total hours they spent in the car. (I am sure that Susan and Paul KNOW.) Thanks for enduring the drive so that we could visit you.

Lindy was born about six weeks after Isabel and is about 2 pounds bigger. They are both pretty cute. Here are the cousins together.



While Susan and Paul were here we all went camping by Palisades creek. It was lots of fun. With five little boys running around we only ended up with three stitches among them (poor Evan had a rough visit to Idaho). This was our only camping trip this summer. Maybe next summer we can go more often.

The five little boys sitting on the bunk bed of the trailer. (Taken with Grandma's cell phone. My camera was in our tent and I knew they wouldn't stay there long enough for me to get a picture.)



Zackary obviously didn't get exactly what he wanted when he wanted it. Check out that lower lip.



Linden, Uncle Daniel and Isabel all smiles while they wait for their food.



Paul, "Yip, I like breakfast, especially when my wife is cooking and I'm supervising."



David, "Where's my breakfast? I want it NOW!"



Susan, the chef, cooking pancakes while Paul supervises and Grant and David enjoy!!



Leonora and Kevin taking a break from breakfast for a smooch. Enjoy all the ones you can before that baby girl arrives.



Grandpa, all done with his breakfast in the trailer.



While everyone else was up and outside enjoying breakfast, Richard and Jessica were still in bed in the trailer. Jessica is pregnant and needs all the sleep she can get, but Richard?? Maybe he should have been helping start the fire to cook breakfast. Ha. Ha.



Grandma with her helper, Anton, scrambling eggs for breakfast in the trailer.



We also had a great picnic at North Bingham County Park where Anton and Zackary got to go fishing for real for the first time with Grandpa. It was lots of fun. Nothing was caught. Linden and Daniel played disc golf there. The boys also had fun playing on the toys. And everyone enjoyed the yummy food.

Thanks for a nice visit. We MISS you. (Even though you ditched us before saying goodbye.)
