Fun family time

My sweet sister Kelly and her two kids visited us this weekend. We had such a wonderful time and Mira and Amelia got to know Chesney and Logan a little better. Now that they are back from Australia, we are making up for lost time!

We spent Saturday afternoon at the swimming pool. The kids had a great time! Mira tried the rope swing for the first time. And Kelly and I went down the water slide!

That evening, Chris graciously agreed to watch all four kids while Kelly and I met two college friends for dinner. What a great evening out we had!

Sunday was a movie day, then Logan came with to Mira's birthday party with her classmates. (Chesney wasn't feeling well.) Seventeen 6-year-olds and me! It was loud and busy. But Mira had a great time. It was fun to see her interacting with her classmates. Here is Mira and Logan at the party place.
And Mira with her "boyfriend" Isaac:
Mira received so many cool presents. One of them was a Barbie doll with a hair straightener that put pink streaks in hair. She tried it out on Amelia this morning.

One satisfied customer. Pretty!
The sweet kids just before it was time to go.
So much fun packed into a short weekend! We'll have to do it again soon!
