Fun Family Visit

Our computer broke down a couple of months ago, and so I got way behind in my blogging.  Some of our best friends from Utah came up for a weekend visit back in April and I'm finally blogging about it.
Tina and I go WAY back from our country and horseback riding days at Ricks College, so that means we have been super-great friends for 16 years.  Amazing!  And she happened to marry a super fantastic guy and had super fantastic kids, so we absolutely love hanging out with there family whenever we go down to Utah, and occasionally they come up here to visit us.

Brady and Garrison were fast friends, and that's saying a lot for Garrison who is such a momma's boy.

All the crazy kids!!
Addie and Sadie  (the rest of the kids at the top)
Even though it was only 50 degrees outside the kids BEGGED us to get the water slide out.  They were crazy and cold....but brave, because they all did it!  They had a great time freezing together.  They would go down once or twice then grab a towel and head for the warm cement pad or trampoline to try and warm up for a few minutes, then do it again.  As we, the parents, watched and laughed in amazement as they all did it.

Then we moved onto warmer activities.  There's a new local Go-Karts place that opened up here, so we went to go and try it out.  Here's Abby, Brady and Parker trying it out.
It was such a fun weekend!  And we just LOVE Tina and her family!!!

Parker's Ballroom Dance Recital

Here are a few pictures of Parker's Ballroom Dance Recital.  He has finished up with his ballroom dance for the season.  He really enjoyed it and is planning to do it again next year.  Yeah!!

He preformed three different dances, the Samba, the Mambo, and the Waltz.  The other pictures didn't turn out at all, so I'm only able to post his Waltz pictures.
