Amazingly Fun Weekend

We are so lucky to have fun family visiting this month. Last weekend Mom and Don made it and this past weekend, Aunt Karen and Uncle Wayne came down. We loved every second. It was so much fun - even when the two little ones were out of control because they hadn't had naps for days. We saw the canyon. We saw the forest. We took family pictures. We ate good food. We slept late today completely exhausted!

It was great having them here. Ethan bonded immediately with Uncle Wayne. Last night, when he knew he was going to bed, he came running back into the living room saying he forgot something. He literally threw his arms around Wayne and said, "Good night!" After we reminded him that Wayne didn't come down here alone, he saw Karen sitting next to him and gave her a big hug too. As he was walking back down the hall to bed, he yelled, "See ya Pal!" It was too cute.

This morning there was genuine disappointment on his face when he found out they went home today and he wouldn't see them again for a while. We didn't tell him on purpose last night so he would go to bed and get some sleep.

I also discovered something this weekend. I think I actually like watching baseball! We watched both Yankee's games of the weekend and it was really fun. The fact that they won both games also helped I'm sure but can you believe the game last night that went into so many extra innings? It was an amazing finish! I'm even looking forward to watching it again on Monday and Tuesday. After years of trying, Gary may finally have a wife to cheer on the Yankees with.

The only downside to this weekend was I forgot to take ANY pictures of our fun! Karen had her camera going all the time and she promised to send some other photos with our family ones so we are excited to see them. We are doing our best talking them into just moving down permanently. Fingers crossed.....
