Monday

My sister came to visit

We were so excited to have some company. We played games, watched some good tv shows, talked lots, did a fun craft, went out to eat, ate lots of yummy treats, and played with the kids. I still had my kids go to school, but a couple of days they took off and we had some fun. One day we went to the carousel and playground downtown, followed by Big Dipper Ice Cream! We had loaded up the bikes to do a fun bike ride along the river trail, but the smoke from all the forest fires was so bad, we couldn't be outside any longer. Then the next day we went to a local gymnastic center and played on the equipment for an hour. The kids loved running around and getting lots of energy out. We love our family....Thanks for making the time and effort to come see us.
