Weekend Visitors!

We had such a great weekend! Emily and Caleb came to visit. We had a lot of fun together--Enjoy the pictures.

Saturday Morning: Caleb played soccer and Mike made us a pancake breakfast.

Long lost pals--Amos had a very warm welcome for Emily. In fact, we couldn't get him to stop welcoming her. He was just so happy she was here.

If you come visit us I WILL feed you homemade chocolate chip cookies...among other wonderful things. So, COME VISIT!

Caleb reading Mike's James Bond book...he claimed to have finished it in a half hour.

Saturday was supposed to be rainy but it turned out to be a gorgeous day. We spent the day at Red Haw State Park. It is so beautiful there.

We had a picnic, Caleb and Mike played baseball (that's them looking for the ball in the tall grass), and Amos swam in the lake. Good times.

One of my best buds!

Amos enjoying a lovely day.

Random shots at the beach. It was a great day. I think we found a total of 4 wood ticks (eew) between the 4 of us and Amos. And I got a horrid sunburn (but no one else did???). It was still fun.

Sunday was a beautiful day as well. We went to see one of the Bridges of Madison County. There are 5 of the 7 original bridges left standing. This is the prettiest one--
the Imes bridge in St Charles, IA.

We also went to an art fair...which was miserable. The art was great but it got super hot out and Evelyn cried the entire time we were there (literally--for about 2 hours). She felt better once we were in an air conditioned McDonalds. She ate daddy's hand for lunch. I wish you could have heard the sucking noise she was making--it was very entertaining!

It was a great visit. We miss them already : ( Give us a call and set up a time to come on down. We'd love to have you!
