On Wednesday, Allison came to town!
On Thursday, my parents arrived.
On Friday, CE came flew in, too.
Our house was packed, our days were full, and I could not have asked for a better weekend!
It was awesome having my family in town to celebrate Riley's birthday. Yeah, we put them to work around the yard, too, but we traded labor for milkshakes. It all worked out! Mom, Dad, Alli, and CE - thank you for all of your help and love! We had such a wonderful time and hope you did, too!
Here are some highlights of the trip!
1. Tour of the parks - we hit spinny park (where everything spins) on Thursday night for a picnic dinner. Hampstead Park on Friday for Riley's party with her school friends. And fish park on Saturday for a rousing game of whiffle ball and some playground play.
2. Riley's party. This year, Riley wanted a dino and lizards party - and, she wanted to invite her school friends. We had a great get-together with four of her class friends, played three awesome games, ate lots of cake and pizza and dino food (grapes, pretzels, and candy), and had a ball. Alli made an awesome dino cake, we had a dino egg hunt, played ring toss around the stegosaurus spikes, and popped balloons to find the little lizard and dino. So much fun. I think the adults had just as much fun as the kids. Good times.
3. Yard work. We filled 31 bags of leaves and piled sticks and branches taller than Riley. Our front yard and back yard look so much cleaner now. Shawn and I still have a lot of work to do, but, wow, the yard is looking good!
4. More Catan. Yes. Of course. We played Catan every night! I even won a game!!
Enjoy the pictures!
