Busy weekend

2 weeks we had lots of vistors! Gramma and aunt Tarah came in Wed and we got to do some fun things with them.  We took Gramma to see the bird show at the zoo.  It was our second time seeing the show.  I really enjoyed it and so did the kids.  One of the highlights was at the end there is a bird that takes donations from you and puts them in a box.  Eli thought it was pretty cool.  We also had a first that day, Eli and I both rode a camel for the first time ever.  We ended our trip to the zoo with a ride on the carousel.  This is the first time it has been open since we started our membership earlier this year.  The kids really enjoyed it and Eli was ready to go another round.  He had his next spot picked out and everything.  Too bad it isn’t free to ride 😦  The next day we loaded up and went to wild river country and had a great time.  I didn’t get many pictures with it being wet and all, but I did manage another good one of the way Lucy’s hair looks after I spray sunscreen on it.  Then the next day we went to our friends b-day party at a park near by.  They used a halfed watermelon for a cake, candles and all, and the kids LOVED it.  I’m thinking that would be a good idea for Lulu’s b-day coming up.  In the midst of all this we added more visitors to our home.  At one point all of Nathan’s immediate family was in the same room!  That doesn’t happen much.  We wrapped the weekend up with a family dinner and brownie birthday wishes for N’s uncle Brian.  It was so great to see everyone and get to visit a bit.  Busy, but good.  Thank you everyone more making the trip to NLR.
