Park Family Visit

My sister Shelli and her family were able to come for a visit last week.  It was so much fun having them here.  It had been so long since we last saw them.  In fact, this was the 1st time she saw Brooks' in person.  We did so many fun things while they were here and made some great memories!!

One fun thing we did was go to the Playful Potter store and have the kids paint a piece of pottery.  With Shelli's help of watching Brooks' and Dalton I even was able to do this cool plate too.  I love it.  I noticed after looking at the is plate what long fingers all the kids have!!  Wow.

Here are the things Ashby and Dalton did.  They had so much fun creating their little works of art.

 

On one of the last nights they were here we all went bowling.  It was a blast!!  All the kids had so much fun.  Ashby and Dalton pretty much bowled the whole night non-stop.

My mom and all the sisters.  I feel very blessed to have these great women in my life to uplift and encourage me.

Some bowling action shots of the kids . . .

Another fun activity we did with the kids was a black light mini golf course.  It was pirate themed.  The kids had fun, but they finished the course in like 5 minutes because they were in such a hurry to see all the cool scenery.

All the cousins together at mini-golf.  Quite a group!!

Of course their were a lot of things we did that I didn't get pictures of!  The best nights were just playing games, and visiting until late in the night.  We also had a fun Adult dessert, game night, and hot-tub party at our house.  We played the Wii game Just Dance (which was VERY entertaining!!), Ryan made his famous ice-cream crepes, and we enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub.  We also played a fun board game called loaded questions. There was never a dull moment!!  I love family and especially having everyone together is just the best.
