A visit from the besties...

Jenni and the kids came for a quick visit this week. I hadn't told my kids they were coming and Radley and Emmy were ECSTATIC when we pulled into the driveway on Tuesday night to see them waiting for us. We had a quick dinner at Chick-A-Lay (as referenced in yesterday's tale) and then headed home to squeal, camp, play dress up, and other shenanigans - sadly Landry goes to bed so early that she missed out. But, I'm not sure if they would have room for one more... 

(I think Jenni and I may have the same picture of us drinking a red drink out of a pitcher somewhere. Only it was college and I should leave that story for another day. ;))

We finally got them settled down enough to watch a movie. Silly me thought that at least one of them would fall asleep - ha! 

On Wednesday we hit up our local Children's Museum that morning. Landry has been there a few times but this was the first time that she really got to play with everything. She walked at least a mile up and down the museum with that shopping cart.

Radley, Karli and Emmy set up shop at the art center - he was finding all of his "favorite things". 

Karli was roping the moon...

and Emmy was just making a mess practicing her cutting.

Cooper must have been too quick for me because I never caught a picture of him. We left the museum and ate a picnic lunch before heading to our next stop at the splash pad.

Where they got soaked...

danced in the water...

cooled off...

looked cute...

and explored.

At one point the water turned off and no one could figure out why. The "trigger" didn't seem to be working and all of the kids lined up with their faces against the ground trying to see what was wrong. If only I could have snapped the picture of their reaction when it popped back on!

We dried off, went home, ate some popsicles (from the left over red drink) and said goodbye too quickly. Thank you for visiting Jenni, Karli and Cooper. We love you tons and wish we could see you more often!!!!
