Aunts and Grandparents

My mom. dad, and sisters Katie and Ashley came to visit us for a couple days this week. It was so fun to show them our new place and do some fun things with them. The kids especially loved all the attention from their aunts and grandparents. Here are a few pics of their visit.

Bowling the first night. I am a terrible bowler! But Avery loves it because she gets the bumpers and the ramp to get the ball rolling. Of course her ball HAD to be green (she's really into green).

Yesterday Merrick and Dad went golfing, the girls went out to lunch, and then for dinner we went to a park and had a BBQ on our new portable grill. While we were there, Merrick taught my sisters and dad how to play Bocce ball. I loved this pic of Camryn chasing after Grandma and Avery. Wait for me!

After our picnic we went over to Pewaukee Lake to watch a Waterski show. They do this every Thursday night at 6:45. We sat right by the lake and watched the waterskiiers do tricks.

Sometimes it took a little while to set up the tricks, but when they pulled it off, it was pretty cool! These guys all stayed up with their flags. It was fun to see what kinds of tricks they could do, and it was also kind of fun to see them wipe out (a lot!).

We went out for ice cream at a little Chocolate Factory right on the boardwalk. It was a fun little exursion and the weather was so perfect, quite ideal.
We had fun with our family! It's so fun to have people come visit. Next time we see each other, we'll be in Texas for Christmas and my brother Jordan will be home from his mission in Switzerland! Yay!

Looks like you guys had fun with your family. Bowling looks so fun. I didn't know they had all that help for the little ones- I'll have to try it with Lizzie sometime.

Wish we could've been there, too. You guys had a lot of fun things planned.
