It was so fun having Bradys come visit. They have been planning to come since last October/November and we were counting down the days! It was SO fun having them, but there were a few disappointments. The original plan was for everyone to come, but Laura was going to stay with the twins, Simon, and Breann. The day before departure day, Tommy's family all started coming down with a nasty stomach flu that was taking out their whole ward. So they decided it would be best not to come. Matthew ended up driving his Tacoma with Molly and Sam, arriving late Friday night. Matt and Shauna left Friday evening, planning to drive through the night but hit a deer four hours into the drive. Luckily, Jenny and Steven were just an hour behind so they picked up Matt and Shauna and finished the drive in Steven's 2 door Dodge Stratus Coupe. I can't imagine that drive. They are all such troopers. We feel so lucky to have such awesome family.
Once they got here, the bad luck didn't end completely because we had rain every day, one day it was all day long. Most of our activities were outside activities so we were really bummed out by the rain. But it was still nice to be lazy, eat lots of treats and play lots of games. We had a pretty crowded house but I was surprised that it wasn't as chaotic as I expected. Once again, there were less dishes in my sink than when it is just us. Many hands make work light I suppose. When we did get out of the house, activities included eating at Lamberts, Chuck-E-Cheese, and Bass Pro.
We are working on trying to talk one of Jon's brothers into moving out here. It's wishful thinking for us to have a family member close by. We'll see ;)
I love that little hand in there sneaking something that looks good. Can you believe the size of this salad?! You never leave this place hungry!
