A Few Good Kids

On Friday, April 20, we made it home from graduation to find Chelsea and her kids waiting for us. Thomas had drill at Camp Williams, so they spent the weekend with us. We decided to set up our dome tent in the basement for Heather and Matthew to sleep in. Sarah and Michael thought they were invited too, and when we were getting beds ready, they came down with their blankets and pillows too. We thought we'd give it a try:

   

 Unfortunately, they didn't do so well down there and subsequently were moved back upstairs. It was just TOO much excitement.


While Chelsea was here, I helped her make some neck pillows for her kids for their trip to Disneyland. She also made these really cute snap wallets for them as well as Michael.

They stayed until Sunday and went to church with us. Then, we had an amazing dinner after church with Thomas, who had finished drill by then. It was a great weekend with lots of sunshine. 

Side note, it is amazing how much more dirt and crumbs get tracked in when you have four extra people staying with you!

And since they had so much fun, they all came back this past Saturday! Okay, that's not really why they came back; they stayed overnight so they were that much closer to Disneyland when they started their trip early Sunday morning. My parents also stayed overnight on Saturday for the same reason. It was a shorter visit, but we take what we can get. 

Somehow, someone brought over a book to Grandma, and our loveseat quickly got filled up with willing listeners. There may have been room for a few more. 

We hope you all have fun in Disneyland, and we're excited to see you on your way back through. Bring us a fun souvenir!
