A Visit from the Arkansas Crew!

We had a visit from Nana, Papa Doc, Kara, Nate, Zac and Ben!  Matthew and Molly had been counting down the days until this visit.  We had a busy few days and I did a terrible job of taking pictures and documenting it!  When the crew arrived on Tuesday, the kids were ready to hit the pool.  They swam and threw water balloons for hours, then headed in for some indoor play and pizza.  By bedtime, all were tired and ready for some sleep.  The three big boys (Nate, Zac, Matthew) all slept in Matthew's room while Molly and Ben slept in her room.  This is the first time the little ones have slept together and they all did great!  The next day we headed to Bass Pro Shops to spend Nate and Matthew's birthday money.  They had so much fun seeing the fish, climbing on boats, watching the snakes and just checking out all the fun stuff Bass Pro Shops has to offer.  Nate left with an airsoft gun, bullets and a camo hat, while Matthew left with a camo wallet, camo hat and a hunting Wii game.  We had some happy boys!  After we got home they did some more swimming and then we all went to see the movie "Brave"...it was great.  Afterwards we headed to a Mexican restaurant to get our fill of Mexican food - yum!  When we got home the kids rode bikes and scooters, then headed to the pool for a night swim.  Nana, Kara and I slipped away for a little shopping and then returned to tuck all our cuties in bed.  We had one last morning together before they all headed back to Arkansas.  They kids spent their time swimming once again.  We had a wonderful time and are so thankful they came to visit.  Matthew and Molly are now asking when they are coming back!
